Despite having what can be described as a fantastic season for Scottish side Rangers Cyriel Dessers says he isn’t sure of making the Super Eagles squad for the 2026 world cup qualifiers games against South Africa and Benin Republic respectively.
Dessers played in both games under new coach Finidi George and found the back of the net against Ghana. He is said to have the faith of the new coach but the return to full fitness of the trio of Victor Osimhen, Terem Moffi and Victor Boniface has cast doubts over his inclusion.
Also the duo of Taiwo Awoniyi and Paul Onuachu are in contention for a return to the team after returning to full fitness and match sharpness. Ahead of the official announcement of the squad for both games Dessers says he isn’t sure of his inclusion despite hitting 22 goals this season.
” This is the Super Eagles where we have so many options and it’s always a honor to get picked. When it comes then you go and fight. I can’t say I will be in the squad for the world cup qualifiers but I am confident that if I get a look in I will give my best”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
