Super Eagles forward Olarewaju Kayode has confirmed his availability for the Super Eagles friendly game against Corsica after initially pulling out due to club duties.
Kayode has been granted permission by his Austrian side Austria Wien to skip their remaining game, after they secured qualification for the Europa League despite their loss.
Kayode told Brila.net “We have qualified for the Europa League this weekend, though we lost.”
“The teams behind us also lost, it was funny. But my Coach, Thorsten Fink has given his consent so I will join the Super Eagles in Paris, very likely at the airport.”
