Super Eagles' stars, Odion Ighalo and Ikechukwu Uche will be in action in the Spanish La Liga on Monday night for their newly promoted side, Granada CF.

The two attackers are highly rated by the Granada coach, Abel Resino Gonzalez and will be expected to play some part in tonight’s cracker at the Nuevo Los Cármenes.

Uche has been impressive for Granada since joining from Real Zaragoza at the start of the 2011/2012 season.

The 28-year-old has scored once in 19 appearances for the club despite recording an impressive 21 shots for the club this term.

Ighalo on the other hand is Granada through and through; famously firing home the goal that helped the club gain promotion to the top flight at the end of last season.

SuperSport.com can report that Ighalo has scored two goals in 13 appearances for Granada this season.
