Ike Uche's acrobatic goal celebrations will not be seen at this year's World Cup after the Villarreal striker failed to make Nigerian coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi's 30-man shortlist for the finals in Brazil. Norwich City defender Joseph Yobo and in-form Stoke City striker Peter Osaze Odewengie both made it into the preliminary squad. Keshi said the final 23-man list will be announced on June 2.
