Arokodare admits Super Eagles omission was inevitable
Striker Tolu Arokodare confirmed his exclusion from Nigeria's AFCON squad was expected, citing poor form and limited minutes at Wolverhampton Wanderers after his move from KRC Genk. The forward, who missed the bronze medal match in Morocco, stated his performance against DR Congo in World Cup qualifiers marked a turning point. Competing against top strikers like Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu, Arokodare acknowledged the strength of Nigeria's attacking options. He emphasized the need for self-assessment after inconsistent club and international form. Since missing out, Arokodare has increased his Wolves minutes and improved performances as the club fights relegation. With the next international window in March, he's focused on rebuilding momentum for a potential Super Eagles recall.
