John Ogu has expressed his disappointment at being left out of Nigeria’s 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup, but vowed to come back stronger and rallied support for the squad.
The Academica midfielder appeared to have paid the price of irregular football with just eight appearances this season and was naturally disappointed by his exclusion, KickOffNigeria.com reports.
“Gutted I didn’t make the preliminary squad,” Ogu posted on his Instagram handle. “Nigeria is blessed with a lot of players; we all can’t make the list. Every player wants to be at the World Cup.”
Ogu expressed his appreciation to Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, who gave him his debut, and asked Nigerians to support the team.
“I want to thank coach Keshi for the opportunities he gave me. I remain grateful for all. He made my dream come true as a player to serve my great nation which I’m always proud of.
“Thanks everyone for your support. Let’s pray for the lads. Let’s support the team as much as we can because I believe in the manager and the squad selected.
“We are family. I will come back stronger,” KickOffNigeria.com quoted the midfielder as saying in his Instagram. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
