Disappointed Everton Striker Henry Backing Nigeria To Make History At World Cup
Published: June 05, 2018Everton striker Henry Onyekuru is still disappointed he was not
included in Nigeria's 23-man roster for the 2018 World Cup and has
admitted that he had a difficult season at RSC Anderlecht.
However, he is backing the Super Eagles to do well at the World Cup and urged Nigerians to pray for their success.
''It
has taken me some time to sit and reflect over the past year. Although
it is disappointing not to be selected after a difficult season,
everything is God's will,'' Onyekuru said in a statement he released
through social media.
''I have faith in my brothers to make Nigeria proud, I am not there in body but definitely in spirit. I will support and watch the team every step of the way.
''As a country we must pray and get behind the team to hopefully make history.''

Onyekuru, who is celebrating his 21st birthday today, has one cap for
the Super Eagles and didn't feature for the country during the World Cup
qualifiers.
No player on the books of a
Belgian club has been named in the national team's traveling party to
Russia, with Moses Simon (Gent) and Uche Agbo (Standard Liege) axed from
the final squad.
