The Super Eagles cannot afford any more slips in 2026 World Cup qualifiers beginning with next month’s games against Rwanda and Zimbabwe, according to defender Leon Balogun.
Nigeria are now in danger of missing out on next year’s World Cup as they are second from bottom in Group C with three points from four matches.
“We are precarious position (in the World Cup qualifiers) so we cannot afford to lose points again,” the experienced defender insisted.
“Therefore, maximum concentration and the highest level of performance are required.”
The Rangers star also dismissed reports that he has quit international football.
“Sorry to be a bit harsh there, maybe, but it’s out there. And I just said it to you myself. Those claims are, how do we like to say nowadays? Fake news,” he declared.
