This one that ajayi has been confined to the bench now. What will that do for his chances of being in the Super Eagles, especially with the world cup qualifiers round the corner. We need active players in our team.
He was only benched once, and even got introduced later in the game. You can’t expect him to play or the 44 games of the season.
He wasn’t benched once.He has been on the bench since returning from suspension after a red card which was a few weeks before the international break.
