NIGERIA striker Odion Ighalo is yet to make up his mind about returning to play for the Super Eagles.
The 32-year-old revealed the Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr and NFF President Amaju Pinnick have contacted him regarding a possible return.
“They have been in contact with me about the possibility of coming back, Amaju and coach,” Ighalo told ESPN.
“I don’t know. I have not said yes or no. I haven’t made any decision concerning the national team.”
The former Manchester United forward announced his exit from international football after the 2019 Afcon in Egypt, where he won the Golden Boot.
He has been plying his trade at Al-Shabab and in the 2020/21 season, he managed to score nine goals and provide three assists in the 13 league matches.
In the ongoing campaign, he has already managed to claim nine goals in the 10 games he has played, with the latest strike coming on Thursday against Al Tai in a 3-0 win.
In his recent interview, Rohr explained why he was keen on having the experienced player back.
“We miss his leadership, we miss his experience and we miss his goals,” the tactician told Completesports.
“He was the top scorer at the 2019 Afcon qualifiers and also the Afcon itself. That’s why I included him on our provisional squad.
