Victor Osimhen has praised Ademola Lookman for staying back to support the Super Eagles even when he could have jetted back to his base following his suspension.
Atalanta winger, Ademola Lookman, did not train with the Super Eagles’ squad, he got his second booking in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series against Lesotho in Polokwane last week and so had to watch the Benin clash from the spectators’ stand in Uyo.
Hat-trick hero against Benin in Uyo Tuesday, Osimhen said Ademola Lookman motivated to Nigeria’s qualification to the 2026 World Cup Playoffs.
“You contributed!!! You motivated the whole squad, blessings brother,” Osimhen saluted the Atalanta star on social media.
The Super Eagles chances of qualifying for next year’s World Cup have received a massive boost as they have officially emerged as one of the highest ranked teams by FIFA should they reach the Intercontinental Playoffs.
With the numbers, it’s safe to say — Nigeria is in a strong position of qualifying, all the hard work, consistency, and strategy of the technical crew and players seems to be paying off.
