Europe Watch: Ndidi scores on return, Iwobi shines as Galatasaray miss Osimhen’s spark

Ndidi, returning to the starting XI after weeks on the sidelines, got on the scoresheet for his club and showed his usual energy and defensive discipline in midfield, a timely boost ahead of Nigeria’s next international window. Iwobi continued his fine form by creating chances, working tirelessly off the ball and underlining why he remains one of the Super Eagles’ most consistent Europe based players.​ Over in Turkey, Galatasaray’s attack again lacked cutting edge without Osimhen leading the line, with the team failing to turn possession into goals. The Nigerian forward, who recently returned to training after a muscle injury, is still working his way back to full fitness and his absence has been felt in Gala’s recent league games.​​ Despite the mixed fortunes at club level, the overall form of key Nigerians like Ndidi, Iwobi and Osimhen continues to […]

Ndidi: Super Eagles motivated by painful 2021 AFCON loss to Tunisia

Nigeria captain Wilfred Ndidi says the Super Eagles will use the memory of their shock defeat to Tunisia at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as motivation when the two sides meet again in the group stage on Friday.

Tunisia, by contrast, scraped through as one of the best third-placed teams. However, the Carthage Eagles stunned Nigeria with a 1-0 victory, capitalising on a defensive error and a red card shown to Alex Iwobi. Speaking ahead of Friday’s encounter, Ndidi described the defeat as a painful moment but insisted the current squad is focused on the present. “It was a painful loss in 2021,” Ndidi said at the pre-match press conference. “The guys were really prepared […]
