The former Juventus midfielder this morning, revealed that he has finally recovered from his illness.

"I have eventually played tennis after a long while. I feel great and can announce that I am well again," Oliseh tol Brila FM in an interview.

"I love Nigeria but I have two children to attend to. I don't even have a house in Nigeria," Oliseh said.

Speaking ahead of the double header with Egypt next month in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Oliseh said Nigeria will play dirty to get the desired results.

Currently in second spot, 2 points behind the 7-time champions in Group g, Oliseh says Nigerians should not expect his team to play fancy or beautiful football while the focus remains securing maximum points against the Pharaohs.
