Musa Not Ready To Quit S’Eagles, Yet
Super Eagles Captain, Ahmed Musa believes he is still strong enough to add more to his already well decorated international caps, adding that he would honour the national team call once Coach Jose Peseiro deemed it fit to call him.
The 29-year-old Fatih Karagumruk winger who has already earned 106 international caps, said his stance that the last 2021 Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON) in Cameroon must have been misconstrued as retiring from the Super Eagles.
“I only said that the last AFCON in Cameroon was going to be my last but I never said I’m retiring from the Super Eagles,” the former Leicester City’s star said in Abuja ahead of the Super Eagles’ 2023 AFCON opener against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone.” Yes, I said the last AFCON was going to be my last but didn’t say I’m not ready to play for the national team again.
“The next AFCON is next year and I don’t know if I’ll still be playing active football. But if I’m still active, it is left for the coach to call me if he thinks I still have something to give.
“So anytime I get a call up, I know I have to come because this is my country.”
