Confusion about the inclusion of Musa, Leon Balogun in the Super Eagles team for Unity Cup, Russia Friendly

The chief coach of the national senior team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has finished the list of players who will represent the team in the next Unity Cup in England and the friendly game against Russia, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

Super Eagles will use the games to prepare for the resumption of the World Cup qualifiers playing for the first time in the Unity Cup against Trinidad and Tobago, Ghana and Jamaica. They will begin their campaign on 28 against Ghana.

After the game they will travel to Russia, where they will keep an appointment with their host that FIFA has suspended from world football due to the decision of the country to invade Ukraine.

While the list has many family names, the sources say that two played in Ahmed Musa and Leon Balogun have received a retirement to the team, but some sources say that a decision on the duo’s invitation has not been made.

While Muse could have an advantage to return to the team, since time means that the majority of European players will not be available, especially in the attack, Balogun’s case is not clear with the return of West Bromwich’s defender Albion Semi Ajayi for full aptitude.

Chelle probably prefers to return to Ajayi as a member than to bring back at age 36, who played for the last time for Nigeria almost two years ago.
