Crystal Palace winger, Michael Olise is still eligible to represent Nigeria at the international level.

This follows his exclusion from France’s squad for the 2024 European Championships.

Olise was left out by Didier Deschamps despite a fine season with Palace.

The 24-year-old scored 10 goals and provided five assists in just 18 games.

However, it was not enough for him to be called up for the Euros.

Born in London to a Nigerian father and a French-Algerian mother, Olise can still play for Nigeria, France, and Algeria through his parents, and England due to his birth.
