UCHE NWOFOR relegated to the stands

Relegation threatened Dutch club VVV Venlo have axed Nigeria striker Uche Nwofor for poor form lately.He has been relegated to the stands as VVV battle for their top flight existence.“Coach Ton Lokhoff has dropped Nwofor because he said he is not in form”,a top source disclosed. The 20-year-old Nwofor was not in the squad for last Saturday’s Dutch Eredivisie tie at home against ADO Den Haag, which VVV won 2-1. However,compatriots Michael Uchebo and Alex Nkume featured in the fixture. The former Enugu Rangers star moved to VVV soon after the 2011 FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia,where Nigeria reached the last eight. He has so far scored four goals in 17 appearances for the Dutch club. However, VVV are again in the relegation/promotion bracket along with De Graaschap. Last season,they only stayed back in the top flight after they topped the relegation playoffs thanks to the goals of Ahmed Musa,who has since moved on to Russian club CSKA Moscow.
