The forward limped out after Nigeria's second game of the tournament with a hamstring injury and has not featured since.

But Coach Manu Garba says the striker is making good progress and is in line for a return.

'Success is making good progress and he could be among the selection for the semi-final if we qualify,' Manu told SportingLife.

'He is a nice player with lots of enthusiasm for the game.

Nigeria faces Uruguay in Saturday's quarter-final. Kick-off is at 5pm Nigeria time.
