Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has confirmed his fitness and availability for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic.
Despite being omitted from the squad by new manager Finidi George, Troost-Ekong asserted his match fitness and readiness to represent Nigeria. He clarified that he has fully recovered from his injury and is ready to play, putting pressure on Finidi George to reconsider his selection.
Troost-Ekong’s leadership and experience were crucial in Nigeria’s impressive AFCON 2023 campaign, and his availability could be a significant advantage for the Super Eagles as they aim to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
