Omeruo Ready For Eagles Friendlies
Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo, who is on loan in Turkey, says he will be at his best on his return to the Nigeria set-up for this month’s friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg.
Omeruo, 22, has been out of contention in the Super Eagles over the last few games owing to injury, and had to pull out of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt in March after he suffered another injury setback.
He has since returned to full fitness and has starred in Turkish club Kasimpasa’s last four games, even creating an assist in a 6-0 thumping of Trabzonspor on Thursday.
He is in the Nigeria squad for the friendly matches against Mali and Luxembourg next week, and he said he is excited to be back.
“It feels good to be back and I am happy I have been given the opportunity to return to the team and as always, I hope to give my best,” he told AfricanFootball.com
Omeruo has played 31 times for Nigeria, winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations as well as appearing at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
