Super Eagles and Enyimba goalkeeper, Olorunleke Ojo has expressed his desire to keep making the game squad of the nation's senior national team.

"I have a hamstring that I have been treating for three weeks but I am good and I will start training on Monday".


Talking about the possibility of grabbing the gloves from other established goalkeepers in the team, he said his destiny is in God's hands because he was first choice in three games. 


"I kept the first three matches before I got injured and I hope to continue with that rich form, God willing".


Dates for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau has been fixed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF)


The first leg will be held at the Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja on Friday, March 24.


The reverse fixture will be held in Marrakech, Morocco on Tuesday, March 28.


The match can’t be held in Guinea-Bissau as they do not have a Confederation of African Football (CAF) approved playing turf.


The Super Eagles won their opening two games in the qualifiers against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe.


Victory in both matches (against Guinea- Bissau) will see Jose Peseiro’s side qualify for the 2023 AFCON with two games in hand.


Cote d’Ivoire will host the competition for the second time after staging the 1984 edition.
