Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has urged Nigerians to continue to support Eric Chelle’s men as they prepare to take on Ghana in a Unity Cup tie today, in London.

The match will take place at the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, United Kingdom.

“Yeah, we know that a lot of Nigerians are, I would say, very disappointed in the Super Eagles,” Musa told the Super Eagles media team in London.

“But I will always call on them to just keep on supporting us because that is what we need right now.

“Their support will have a very big impact on us.”

Musa currently plays for Kano Pillars in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL.

The 32-year-old is making a return to the national team after an extended absence.

“Yeah, for me, I am always happy whenever I get a call-up,” the former Leicester City star added.

Meanwhile, the Kano Pillars forward Ahmed Musa said he was delighted for his return to the Super Eagles set up.

Musa has not been involved with the Super Eagles since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire.

The 31-year-old is currently with the team in London for the Unity Cup invitational tournament.

“I’m always happy whenever I get the call-up so I’m very happy to be back,” Musa said in a video posted on the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF TV.

“It has been a long time but I don’t think there’s any difference so we just wait and see on the day of the game what is going to happen.”
