Josh Maja isn’t thinking about a recall to the senior national team setup of Nigeria despite his near perfect start to the season for West Brom in the English Championship, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Maja has found the back of the net seven times in as many games this season, proving his return to full fitness after missing the most of last season due to an injury. His fine run of form has sparked talks of a possible return to the international fold with the Super Eagles.
Capped once in 2019 in the Super Eagles 2-2 draw against Ukraine, the 25 year old hasn’t been able to add to that number due to his inconsistent form at club level , but that appears to be in the past with the manner he has started the season with West Brom.
However sources close to the former Bordeaux forward say returning to the international scene with Nigeria is a distant dream for now as he is fully focused on powering West Brom back to the English Premier League.

He is keen on repaying the trust of the team in standing by him during his lengthy layoff due to injury, and helping them return to the English top division with his goals is his main priority for now above all.
It doesn’t mean he won’t honor the invitation if it comes, but he isn’t going to lose sleep if he doesn’t get one in the nearest future.
