Watford ace Emmanuel Dennis might not get another chance with the senior national team of Nigeria according to a chieftain of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Dennis famously snubbed a call up to play for Nigeria at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations where Nigeria crashed out of the tournament at the round of 16 following a 0-1 loss to Tunisia.
His decision for not honouring the call up was down to his club unwillingness initially but he later decided not to honour the call up when it was down to him to make a decision.
It didn’t go down well with coach of the team Austine Eguavoen who wanted to give the 24 year old a fresh start to his international career after a fall out with ex coach Gernot Rohr.
Speaking to OwnGoalNigeria.com a chieftain of the NFF said the although the decision will still be in the hands of the coach who will be in charge of the team, he is unsure if there will be wholesome changes to the squad that played the AFCON.
” I guess he is out of the team and it might be for a long while. My thinking is that he might never get another call up especially as the present coaches appear not to be keen on adding more players bar three. It’s still in the hand of who will be coach at the end but it’s looking like he won’t get another chance”, he concluded.
