Hull City Coach Keen On Welcoming Chelsea Loanee Aina To Russia
Published: October 18, 2017
Hull City's Russian coach Leonid Slutsky has expressed his happiness with Nigeria's qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia which will take place in the country of his birth.
Chelsea product Ola Aina played the last eleven minutes of the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Zambia on October 7, a victory that saw the national team book their spot at next year's World Cup finals.
''We congratulated Kamil and Ola last week - welcome to Russia!" said Slutsky to hullcitytigers.com.
''Of course, the World Cup next summer is very important to me because it will be held in Russia.
''Kamil and Ola have already been asking me a lot of questions about stadiums and cities, and I hope that Larsson and Meyler will play there also.
"However, all of these players are very professional and it is the club matches that they are concentrating on now.''
Aina is in line to make his full debut for the Super Eagles when they take on Algeria in their final Group B game on November 10.
