While some supporters celebrate his return, others have raised concerns about his selection, questioning whether he still has the competitive edge needed at the international level. Detractors cite his age, the league he plays in, and concerns over his fitness, arguing that younger, in-form players should be given the opportunity instead.
However, those in favor of Musa’s inclusion highlight his vast experience, leadership qualities, and recent form in the NPFL. Since rejoining Kano Pillars, he has scored six goals and played a pivotal role in the club’s success. His presence in the squad could provide valuable mentorship to younger players, and his history with the national team speaks for itself.
Ultimately, Coach Eric Chelle has a vision for the Super Eagles, and his selection of Musa suggests he sees value in what the veteran forward brings. Rather than debating individual selections, fans are encouraged to rally behind the team and trust the coach’s decisions as Nigeria aims for a strong performance in the qualifiers.
