Osimhen Rallies Super Eagles Mates
Osimhen said the Super Eagles can’t afford not to qualify for the World Cup for the second consecutive time.
“We can get it done,” Osimhen told ESPN ahead of the clash with the Leopards.
“We have the squad to actualize this dream of going to the World Cup because everyone wants to go to the World Cup.
“We have to be at the World Cup because we missed out on the last one and I think we have the quality to do it.”
