Former Nigerian forward, Victor Ikpeba has kicked against the return of Jude Odion Ighalo to the Super Eagles squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde later this month.
Ikpeba made this known on Monday Night Football Show on SuperSports, where he queried the decision of Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr to invite Ighalo to the squad.
Ighalo. 32, hanged his boots after helping the team win a bronze in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, where the Super Eagles defeated Tunisia 1-0 in the Third-Place match.
“I don’t really like the invitation of Ighalo to the Super Eagles. I want to believe that the coach knows why they have recall him to the team even when he has not given any response so far,” he said.
“Well, it could be a mind games. However, the return of Alex Iwobi to the Super Eagles will provide the necessary assist for him.”
