Liberia vs Nigeria: Ighalo Storms Super Eagles camp

 

Nigeria goal king, Odion Ighalo, has returned to Super Eagles, two years after his earlier retirement from international football.

Odion, who arrived at the camp on today, expressed happiness at his return to the Super Eagles after more than two years of hiatus.

“I am happy to be back. It has been long. Two years plus. Good to see some of the guys.

“I have seen Ekong, my strong man, hopefully, I will see the other guys,”.

Al Shabab striker retired from the Nigerian senior national football team after helping the Super Eagles to a third-place finish at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt where he emerged as the top scorer.

The former Watford goal king is currently having a good form in Saudi Arabia where he plays for Al Shabab.

Nigeria need all three points from the encounter with the Lone Star in order to stay in contention to star in the knockout phase of the World Cup qualifiers, set for March 2022. Only the group winners will proceed to the knockout phase that will be a home-and-away exercise to produce Africa’s five flagbearers in Qatar.

 

Central African Republic is to meet Cape Verde’s Blue Sharks, who will host them in Mindelo on Saturday, have seven points and will be hoping the Super Eagles stumble in North Africa.

 

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles have scaled the hurdle in their last three major qualifying campaigns with matches to spare, and are confident they could reach the knockout round before the final day of the qualifiers by beating Liberia, and hoping Cape Verde are unhinged on home soil by the Beasts.

 

 

Cape Verde’s Blue Sharks, with seven points, are at home to the Beasts on the island of Mindelo, hoping to garner another three points that could make the final Group C encounter with Nigeria in Lagos a cliff-hanger.
