The representative of Reading midfielder Michael Olise has confirmed to Owngoalnigeria.com the date he expect the 19 year old to make his international bow for Nigeria after agreeing to represent Nigeria.
Olise agreed to represent Nigeria after representing France twice at U18 level and he was subsequently called to the senior national team of Nigeria for their final round of AFCON qualifiers but couldn’t honour the call.
Explaining why he was placed on standby, coach of the senior national team of Nigeria, Gernot Rohr said it was due to travel restrictions and it finally led to his exclusion from the squad after his club refused to release him.
However that won’t be the case in June when Nigeria take on Liberia in the first game of the World Cup 2022 qualifiers according to a representative of his management team.
“ He should play for Nigeria on the 6th of June in Lagos against Liberia. Already he has spoken with the coach and barring any late issue he should play for Nigeria twice in June with the game against Central Africa Republic in mind as well”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.
