Captain of the senior national team of Nigeria Ahmed Musa has reacted to the decision of head coach of the Super Eagles Eric Chelle to leave him out of the squad for the upcoming world cup qualifiers games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe respectively, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Nigeria will resume their campaign in the world cup qualifiers searching for their first win after four games in the series, with a game against Rwanda away in Kigali on the 21st of March before hosting Zimbabwe four days later at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo.
Musa was named in the provisional list of players for both games, but was missing when the number was trimmed from 39 to 23. This came after meeting with the coach in Kano, where he played for Kano Pillars against Enugu Rangers in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
In an interview with Modzerosport.com , the forward who is the most capped player in the history of the team with 18 goals and 16 assists gave his backing to the team despite not getting named in the squad for the games.
