Super Eagles pacy forward, Ibrahim Musa could be quitting the team after an incident
of favouritism as regards the leadership of the football squad.
Leicester City star Ahmed Musa may join the list of players to quit the national team unceremoniously as he is considering resigning from international football.
It was gathered that Musa feels disrespected after the captaincy drama before the match against Senegal in London, when he was
dropped from leading the Eagles for Ogenyi Onazi to be announced as new team leader.
The player and his managers are claiming that he was “disrespected” after he was
overlooked as captain and has not been fair ly treated in the national team.
“Ahmed was very unhappy with the drama in London and he is seriously mulling with
the idea of putting a stop to his
international career”
“He does not enjoy the confidence of the Eagles coach and so sees no point incarrying on in the Eagles.”
An aggrieved Musa reportedly addressed the team soon after it was decided Ogenyi Onazi
will lead them out against Senegal.
He later stormed out of the Eagles hotel in London by 6am and was therefore not part of the practice match on Monday at the Hive
Stadium, the report said.
Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, who complained about the unbecoming attitude’
of Musa, had explained that the player was excused from the Eagles training camp in
London to attend to family issues.
The attacking winger has been one of the long-serving players in the Eagles after he made his debut against Madagascar in 2011.
He scored twice against Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil as Nigeria reached the knockout rounds of the tournament.
Vincent Enyeama and Emmanuel Emenike are top stars who have since called time on
their international career since Brazil 2014.
