AFCON MVP William Ekong has insisted he is fit to play for the Super Eagles in 2026 World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin.
Ekong was overlooked for the World Cup qualifiers even after he had assured coach Finidi George of his fitness.
“I am available for the matches because I am fit,” he maintained.
Ekong restated his personal targets are to win the 2025 AFCON and qualify Nigeria to the 2026 World Cup.
The defender last played an official game in February before he underwent surgery for a thigh injury he nursed at the AFCON.
He said he regained full fitness two weeks to the end of the season in Greece.
