Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has declared that the team is battle ready for Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Rwanda.
The three-time African champions failed to record an away win against the Amavubi in their previous encounters.
Troost-Ekong declared that Eric Chelle’s side are unfazed about talks of their winless in Rwanda.
“Actually, we read about that in some places but we are not bothered. I was part of the last game in Kigali which ended scoreless, but we know that we cannot afford a draw this time,” the centre-back told thenff.com.
“Our objective is to pick the three points and bring some life back into our campaign.
“We are certainly not concerned about history books and what has happened before now. Qualification for the FIFA World Cup is our priority.”
