Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia has revealed why he dropped Abia Warriors forward and CHAN star, Chisom Chikatara, for Nigeria's AFCON qualifier against Egypt.
Speaking on a SuperSport program, Siasia said he was aware of Chikatara’s talent but had to drop him because the team had enough strikers for the matches.
“I have known Chikatara before now. He used to play with the U-20 team and also the U-23 before we left for Senegal. I know him very well,” the former Nigeria international said.
“I believe we have better players than Chikatara in the team up front. Who do we want to compare Chikatara with among the players we have in the team right now?”
The Eagles attack has Watford striker, Odion Ighalo, West Ham United forward, Victor Moses, Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa, and Portland’s Fanendo Adi among others.
