2026WCQ: Augsburg Manager Shocked By Onyeka’s Omission From Super Eagles Squad

 

Sampson Adedeji Augsburg manager Jess Thorup has expressed surprise over the omission of Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka from the Super Eagles squad that featured in the recent round of World Cup qualifiers, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Onyeka, known for his tough tackling and consistent performances, was named in the provisional squad but didn’t make the final 23-man list.

Speaking to OmaSports, Thorup revealed he not only expected Onyeka to be included but also thought he would start.

“Yeah, I think Onyeka has had an amazing season in one of Europe’s top leagues. I was really surprised that he wasn’t called up to the Nigeria squad,” Thorup said.

“I was sure Frank would be part of it. I was even hoping he would be in the starting lineup.”

 “We were all surprised, but that’s the coach’s decision. Frank can only continue performing at this level and hope for a future call-up,” he added.
