Nigerian international, Lukman Haruna is unhappy to have been snubbed by Super Eagles' gaffer, Stephen Keshi for a World Cup playoff against Ethiopia and the friendly duel with Italy.
Haruna, who plays his club football for Dynamo Kiev has been on superlative form for his Ukrainian club this term and had hoped he would make the November 16 World Cup playoff return leg clash against Ethiopia in Calabar.
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi had earlier hinted that he could hand a recall for Haruna, Hull City winger Sone Aluko and Gabriel Reuben.
But it was only Reuben who last two seasons played for Nigerian champions, Kano Pillars made the list released on Sunday.
Haruna who had featured for the U17, U20 and the Olympic team could not hide his feelings over his exclusion as he said: "I am sad but I am still positive that I will get my chance.
“I was glad when I heard the coach said he would consider me for the Italy game but now that I am not listed, it only means I should work extra hard and that is exactly what am going to do.
"It’s been three years since I played for the Eagles and every day I put in my best in my club and my form and performance this season has been evidence of my hard work but I need to do more,". he told Okin FM.
Lukman Haruna has netted four times for Dynamo Kiev this term in the Ukrainian League.
