David Okereke scored his second goal for US Cremonese to salvage a 2-2 draw at Salernitana, while Zaidu Sanusi will now most likely miss the chance to test himself against Portugal with the Super Eagles in a friendly as he was not listed by FC Porto tonight.
Okereke netted his third Serie A goal against Salernitana and Cremonese are second from bottom with six points from 13 matches.
They are three points from safety.
Super Eagles striker Cyriel Dessers did not see action for Cremonese as he was not listed and that could see him miss out on the Portugal friendly.
In Portugal, Zaidu did not make the matchday squad for champions Porto against Pacos Ferreira.
He has been nursing a groin injury he suffered in a UEFA Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid.
The injury is now most likely to cost him a chance to play against Portugal in Lisbon on November 17.
It will be a chance for Rivers United fullback Ebube Duru to play his way into the Super Eagles.
