Uzoho, Omeruo, Ambrose… TheCable’s team of the week

Many Nigerian players were in action for their respective clubs in the past week.

The top performers made TheCable’s team of the week.

Francis Uzoho [Elche]

He was unafraid to leave his line and made several outstanding saves. Commanding.

Kenneth Omeruo [Leganes]

Alongside fellow defenders, he held off the hosts with ease. Certainly, the Nigerian had the better of Iago Aspas, beating him in the air and on the ground. Imposing.

Efe Ambrose [Hibernian]

He was influential in the 2-0 win over Celtic. Magnificent.

William Troost-Ekong [Udinese]

Solid, physically unruffled and made several important interceptions when needed. He led the line with an imperial elegance. Daunting.

Rilwan Hassan [Midtjylland]

Ruled the right flank and consistently supplied sublime crosses. He netted the first goal. Outstanding.

Jamilu Collins [Paderborn]

The Nigerian ace ran the game with his bravery, speed, touch and physical prowess. Overwhelming.

Ogenyi Onazi [Trabzonspor]

The Super Eagles vice-captain held the midfield together, almost scored and dictated the movement of his side. Hard-working.

Ramon Azeez [Lugo]

Played all over the midfield. He was always ready to run and bring the ball forward with precision and skill. Exacting.

Anthony Nwakaeme [Trabzonspor]

Pushed forward at every opportunity and was relentless in the hounding of his opposite number. He capped the performance with a goal. Persistent.

Victor Osimhen [Sporting Charleroi]

Constantly bamboozled Club Brugges’ central defensive duo with his speed of thought and movement. He scored a goal and caused problems throughout. Unrelenting.

Ebere Onuachu [Midtjylland]

He understood the dynamic of the game, changing the flow, scoring one and supplying an assist. Stupendous.
