Super Eagles and Watford of England striker, Jude Odion Ighalo, has revealed that the Eagles will sorely miss suspended midfielder Eddy Onazi in the forthcoming fixtures of the 2017 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Onazi was sent off in Nigeria’s 2-0 win in the first 2017 AFCON qualifier against Chad in Kaduna, but Ighalo insists there are players capable of filling that position.
Ighalo stated that the Eagles are poised for a good showing in the forthcoming games which the midfielder will miss and has predicted great outcomes.
”He made mistakes and apologised to the team but certainly he’d be missed in the next set of games because he’s an important member of the team.
”I’m sure we have players who can ably deputise in Onazi’s unfortunate absence. So, we’ll keep working hard together, remain focused and get good results without him” Ighalo told www.footballlive.ng.
