Odion
Ighalo is set for a return to the Super Eagles, ahead of next month’s 2022 World Cup
qualifiers.
This is
happening as Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is set to name the Al-Shabab
striker in his squad for the clash against Cape Verde and Liberia next month.
President
of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick, confirmed in a
statement on Instagram that he has spoken to him recently about a possible
return.
“I had a
long conversation with Odion Ighalo, personally I believe we need experience in
our attack to combine with our energetic youthful Osimhen, Onuachu, Kelechi et
al.
“Odion’s
body language is very positive. We are also in touch with his agents and club.
“The vibe
going into these last two games and indeed Afcon is very good,” Pinnick wrote
on Instagram.
