SCORENigeria can specially report that Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has been hugely encouraged after he met with happy and “fired up” Super Eagles stars Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey and Wilfred Ndidi ahead of next month’s must-win 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe.
A top source told only SCORENigeria that Eric Chelle and his first assistant, Hedi Taboubi, were lifted by the enthusiasm of the Premier League stars for the Super Eagles cause ahead of next month’s all-important matches.
“The coaches expressed more confidence that the boys know what is at stake, they want to play at the World Cup, and so want to deliver for Nigeria despite the precarious position they have found themselves in the qualifying series,” a source informed SCORENigeria
The coaches met with Ndidi, who is fast recovering from a hamstring injury from December, on Wednesday, before they hooked up with Iwobi Thursday.
They plan to meet up with more players before they then head back to France this weekend.
They were accompanied on these in-person visits by Super Eagles team secretary Dayo Enebi.
