Maybe Next Time! Ola Aina “Proud” Of Nigeria Despite World Cup Miss

Ola Aina is hopeful to make the next World Cup tournament in four years time.

Chelsea right back, Ola Aina has showed support for the Nigerian national team as they near the final phase of their Russia 2018 World Cup preparations. “May be next time..I want to wish the boys all the very best out in Russia make our Nation proud,” Aina who was included in Gernot Rohr’s 30-man provisional list tweeted.

The 21-year-old participated in the Super Eagles 1-1 draw with DR Congo in Port-Harcourt, but he was dropped before Rohr and his preferred men travelled to London, where the team lost 2-1 to England in their warm-up clash at the Wembley Stadium on June 2. However, Aina who is placed on standby along with Mikel Agu, could recalled to the Super Eagles for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Seychelles in September. Nigeria face Argentina, Croatia and Iceland in Group D of the 2018 World Cup.
