Everton striker Victor Anichebe hopes to gatecrash Nigeria's World Cup squad after proving his fitness.
Nigeria have a new coach, the Swede Lars Lagerback, and Anichebe is hopeful of playing himself into contention for South Africa in Everton's remaining two games.
He told evertonfc.com: "It would be a great feeling, but everybody keeps asking me about the World Cup, but I didn't participate in any of the qualifiers.
"Obviously the manager needs to look at everyone and see who's fit, who's played a lot of games, who's in good form. We'll see at the end of the season."
