Everton striker Victor Anichebe is happy to be back playing and
hopes to make a late bid for inclusion in Nigeria's World Cup
squad.
The 21-year-old returned to action in January after 11 months
out following a serious knee injury and showed his current
well-being by scoring the opener in the 2-2 draw with Birmingham on
Saturday.
While he knows his chances of forcing his way into Nigeria
boss Lars Lagerback's plans for South Africa are slim, he has not
given up hope of a call-up.
Anichebe told evertonTV: "It would be nice, but obviously I
have been out injured for so long.
"I am just looking at playing for Everton as I have been out
for so long. It would be hopeful to think about the World Cup but
we will just have to see what happens."
He added: "The season seems to have flown by for some of the
players but for me it is just nice to be playing as I have only
returned for the end of it.
"I am just happy to be involved."
