Still wondering why Olisa Ndah has been overlooked from the senior national team following the injury crisis in the defence with the likes of Troost Ekong out on the mend and Ola Aina as well as Zaidu Sanusi.
If Olisa Ndah is a regular player for Orlando Pirates in the same league where buck of South African players play, so why should such a player be overlooked in the Super Eagles set-up, since 2021 AFCON when he last featured for Nigeria.
I think Nigeria FA would be better advised to carry out a proper audit of Nigerian players based major top leagues in Africa including the North African leagues so as to have balanced representation of Nigerians in the national team set-up. If we do due diligence, we’ll be surprised to find some quality players whose addition like Stanley Nwabili would have helped improved the senior national team.
Super Eagles safe hands, Stanley Nwabili is based in South Africa like Olisa Ndah.
Ndah should be invited to Super Eagles
