Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has asserted his readiness to represent Nigeria in the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic. This statement comes despite his surprising omission from the 23-man squad announced by new manager Finidi George.
Troost-Ekong, who played a pivotal role in leading Nigeria to the AFCON 2023 final, was not selected for the crucial double-header. The decision to leave out the experienced defender has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts alike.
Despite this setback, Troost-Ekong has expressed his unwavering commitment to the national team and his preparedness to contribute whenever called upon. His leadership and defensive prowess have been vital assets to the Super Eagles in past competitions.
