Super Eagles coaches are excited about the return of Ademola Lookman, who has resumed training with Atalanta ahead of their Champions League play-off against Club Brugge.
Lookman, a key player for Nigeria, has been instrumental in the team’s quest to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup after missing out on the 2022 edition in Qatar.
Nigeria faces an uphill task in Group C, currently sitting on three points while Rwanda, South Africa, and Benin lead with seven points each.
The Super Eagles must win all remaining matches and hope for favorable results elsewhere to secure qualification.
Recall that to bolster the team’s chances, Coach Eric Chelle has been meeting with players in Europe, accentuating the need for total commitment to the World Cup campaign.
