“We all looking for opportunities to represent our country, and when you have it, all you need to do is to grab it and move forward with it

“A lot of them out there that have not been invited to the national team are also looking forward to it, looking forward to that opportunity”

“I will surely advice that any player who has been called up to make good use of the opportunity to make themselves proud”. he concluded

Nigeria will return to the Africa Cup of Nations next year after missing out on the last two editions and Dosu believes the Eagles will be one of the favorites.

The likes of Egypt, Senegal, Morocco, and Cameroon are among teams considered to be ahead in the race for the continental crown next year.
