Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni made the Npower Championship Team of the Week for his terrific goal and all-round performance in Leicester City’s 2-1 home win over Bristol City last weekend at the Walkers Stadium.
Aiyegbeni’s 21st minute strike for The Foxes was his fifth goal of the campaign in his loan spell for Sven Goran Eriksson’s team.
The bulky Nigeria striker made the 4-4-2 squad, with Middlesborough’s Leroy Lita as his strike partner in the attack.
However, there was no place for Cardiff City’s forgotten Super Eagles defensive midfielder, Seyi George Olofinjana.
The former Brann of Norway and Hull City combative midfielder has also notched in five goals for the Bluebirds this season and is one of the brighest players for his club who are pushing for a play-off to the English top flight.

Ike Uche came on for the last 20 minutes of Real Zaragoza's 0-1 home defeat to Atletico Madrid, and looked almost back to his best. The Nigerian, on for Said Boutahar, had barely beeon on the pitch five minutes when he cut inside his man in typical fashion and crashed a shot against the crossbar.
Uche has been out for almost a year with a torn cruciate ligament, and missed Nigeria's World Cup debacle in South Africa.
His return will come as a welcome boost to new coach Samson Siasia as he continues his retooling of the Super Eagles.
