Emmanuel Emenike set for Fenerbahce showdown

Emmanuel Emenike is eligible to face Fenerbahce today in the second leg of the play-off round of the UEFA Champions League.

The Nigeria international arrived Turkey via Turkish Airlines on Tuesday morning ahead of the rest of his teammates at Spartak Moscow to answer questions from the jury on match fixing allegations.

Emenike who came to Caglayan Courthouse with his lawyer told the court that he did not feign injury before last year's game between Karabükspor and Fenerbahce, and did not deliberately miss the match.

The one time Karabükspor attacker joined the Spartak Moscow squad at the hotel after the hearing and is likely to start tomorrow's game at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium İstanbul.

Spartak Moscow defeated The Yellow Canaries by 2 - 1 in the first leg, with Emenike scoring one of the goals for the Russian vice - champions.
