Victor Osimhen says the Super Eagles players will have no problem welcoming Odion Ighalo back to the squad.
Ighalo is expected to rejoin the Super Eagles for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape.
The Al-Shabab forward announced his retirement from international football three years ago, but was persuaded by NFF President Amaju Pinnick and Coach Gernot Rohr to come out of retirement.
“It feels good for the team and of course the Coaches and theFederation know what is best for the team. We welcome him with open arms and we’re looking forward to receiving him in the camp.” Osimhen said on Wednesday.
“For me it is important to have him in the squad and like I said before, we all have a common goal to qualify the nation for the World Cup and do well in the AFCON so whatsoever is good for the team I believe the Coach and Federation will bring it to play.” The Napoli striker said.
Osimhen took over from Ighalo when he retired after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations and has scored 8 goals for the team.
With the former Manchester United star returning to the squad, Osimhen might have his minutes on the pitch reduced.
