Maduka Okoye, the talented goalkeeper for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has signaled his readiness to make a triumphant return to the national team. Despite missing out on the final African Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast, Okoye was a crucial member of the Super Eagles squad during the 33rd edition held in Cameroon.
After navigating through a challenging period with Watford FC in the English Championship, Okoye has demonstrated positive strides since joining Serie A’s Udinese in Italy.
In an exclusive interview with the club’s media, Okoye candidly acknowledged the difficulty of watching the national team from the sidelines. He expressed, “I’m very well now.
I feel 100%. The national team is an important thing for me, and I want to return as soon as possible. It was tough watching the Africa Cup of Nations from home, but this is football.”
The goalkeeper’s commitment to regaining his spot in the Super Eagles lineup is evident, and he appears determined to contribute to the team’s success.
His period of absence during the Africa Cup of Nations served as motivation for Okoye, who is now focused on making a meaningful impact upon his return to international football.
As Okoye continues to impress at Udinese in Serie A, Nigerian football enthusiasts eagerly anticipate his return to the Super Eagles, bolstering the team’s defensive capabilities and bringing a wealth of experience to the pitch.
