“He’s doing really well at his club and he still has the ambition to help his country," Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr said after recalling Odion Ighalo to the latest Nigeria squad.
“Ighalo is different. He’s a special player, he sees everything. Our team now misses maturity and experience and this is where he could help us, because we miss his leadership, his experience and the goals he scored.
“He was the top scorer in the last AFCON and the qualifiers. I think we have so many young players, but they could learn a lot from the side of such a good player.”
The last meeting between Liberia and Nigeria was on 2 September 2021.
Nigeria ran out 2-0 winners over Liberia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier which was played at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
