I’m still available to play for Super Eagles — Leon Balogun

Rangers of Scotland defender,  Leon Balogun says he is still available to play for Nigeria. Balogun has been overlooked since coming on as a substitute in Nigerias 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Sao Tome and Principe in June 2022 but the 36-year-old, who has impressed at Scottish giants Rangers this season, believes he is still ready to play at international level. Its not that Ive not accepted an invitation. Unfortunately, right before the World Cup break, I suffered an injury that was supposed to last a few weeks but didnt go the way it was supposed to, he told Brila FM.I just couldnt come I was not fit yet and after I got fit, then I relapsed but since then I havent had a lengthy injury spell.I have always been available. Ive never said that I retired from international football, and I think the people who need to know are aware that Im still very much willing and ambitious to represent the national team. The centre-back has made 46 appearances for the Super Eagles, with one goal to his record. He was part of the Super Eagles squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and made the squad that came third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Egypt. The post Im still available to play for Super Eagles Leon Balogun appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
