Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback is confident left-back Taye Taiwo and Uwa Echiejile will feature in Tuesday's crucial Group B showdown against South Korea after both players sustained minor injuries against Greece.

He also revealed that Portsmouth striker Kanu could make an appearance after sitting out Nigeria's first two group games.

South Korea could hand a start to veteran striker Ahn Jung Hwan who is also yet to feature in this World Cup.
