Salisu Yusuf Insist On Ahmed Musa, Ighalo In Super Eagles Squad For AFCON Qualifiers

The squad of the senior national team of Nigeria for the upcoming friendly games in the United States of America against Mexico and Ecuador on the 28th of May and 2nd of June respectively will be made public next week, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Head coach of the team Salisu Yusuf has been mandated to draft the list of players for the game and also the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone in Abuja.

The decision to let Yusuf name the squad for the game will remain same even if a substantive foreign coach is named before the games per what we exclusively gathered.

Yusuf per what we gathered will name the duo of Ahmed Musa and Odion Ighalo in the squad despite the fact that both of them hinted at international retirement before the ill fated World Cup qualifiers playoff games against Ghana.

The coach still sees the duo as integral to his plans and will go ahead to name them in the squad for the above mentioned games.

He believe the team still need the experience of the duo to help through difficult phases.
