@afrisagacity

"This is good news for the team. Zaidu needs a solitary moment to communicate with his inner spirit and find out why his legs are restricted to only running.

"Crossing or long-passing the ball is such a hard fight for him. And when he eventually gets it right, the ball finds its way to an opponent’s feet.

"Sitting out today’s match will do both Zaidu and the Super Eagles team much good."
