Wolfsburg's Uduokhai Refuses To Rule Out Playing For Super Eagles After U21 EURO

Published: March 29, 2019

Felix Uduokhai has refused to rule out committing his international future to Nigeria in the near future but is focused on this summer's European U21 Championship in Italy and San Marino.

There had been talk that the Wolfsburg defender was in contention to be included in the Super Eagles squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations but Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr later changed his mind after admitting that brand new players will not be considered in the group.

Uduokhai continues to flirt with the Nigeria National Team unlike 1899 Hoffenheim's Kevin Akpoguma and Hertha Berlin's Jordan Torunarigha, and this time he has suggested that he still has time on his hands to make a decision on his international future.

''I have heard nothing (from Rohr). My focus is on the European Championships in the summer, I want to be there,'' said Uduokhai to sportbuzzer.de.

''I still have time for everything else."

The 21-year-old Uduokhai popped up with the match-winning goal in stoppage time as Germany U21s beat England 2-1 in a friendly on Tuesday.

The Annaberg-Buchholz native has ten caps in total for Germany's U19, U20 and U21 teams.
