Victor Ikpeba speaks on Ogenyi Onazi’s return to Super Eagles

Former Super Eagles forward, Victor Ikpeba, has spoken on the return of midfield marshal, Ogenyi Onazi to Nigeria’s Super Eagles squad list to face the Black Stars of Ghana in a World Cup playoff later this month.

IDOMA VOICE recalls that Super Eagles interim coach, Austine Eguavoen, had last week released the names of those invited for the two-legged games and placed seven others on standby.

Ogenyi Onazi, who has not played for Nigeria in almost over two years, was named on the standby list.

But Ikpeba believes that qualification to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar should be paramount, adding that Eguavoen has a selection headache.

“We are not the coaches. They must have seen Onazi doing something,” Ikpeba said on SuperSport’s Monday Night Football.

“What we want to do is see them go out and defeat Ghana and qualify for the World Cup. We should not dwell on the list.

“Egu has a selection headache. We don’t know if Chukwueze or Moses will start because we have lots of forwards.

“Integration is important. You need time to gel,” Ikpeba added.
