‘I will always fight to represent Nigeria’ – Genk’s Onuachu reacts to latest Super Eagles snub

Genk striker Paul Onuachu has accepted his omission from the latest Super Eagles squad in good fate but he vowed to continue fighting for a place in the Nigerian national team.

Earlier this week, Gernot Rohr released his 24-man team for the country’s 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures against Benin and Lesotho later this month.

Despite leading the goalscoring charts in the Belgian First Division A with 25 goals in 29 matches, Onuachu did not make the list but he was placed on standby if any of the eight invited forwards suffers a problem in the course of the two matches.
