What type of injury did Omeruo suffer? Does anyone know?
Abeg make una leave dis Balogun story,no need for media hype cos he has no room in d current super eagles set up.. someone dat cannot play himself into a lowly rated premier league club like Brighton has no space in my darling super eagles team. No sentiment ,no beefing..na as u Sabi play na so we go take pick u..shikena
I will be looking elsewhere for my defence and defenders.
Good to see Mikel Agu back for his Portuguese side after sitting out a number of games on the reserve bench. Mikel Agu’s ability has never been in doubts as he’s stands as a capable back up for imperial Ndidi Wilfred in the DM role on account of his big and imposing frame and strong physicality, with this he bounds across the midfield harrying his victims.
Hope this fairytale continues.
