The former England international has suggested some of the consequences of making the 31-year-old come back to the national team
John Fashanu has warned Nigeria national team coach Gernot Rohr not to bring back Odion Ighalo to the team, stating it could make the young strikers in the side ‘depressed’.
Ighalo called time on his international career after helping the Super Eagles finish third at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, where he emerged as the tournament’s top scorer.
Since his retirement, Nigeria have relied on Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho and Genk’s Paul Onuachu, who have been in fine form for the West African side.
