Captain Ahmed Musa has said he has not yet quit the Super Eagles and he has only taken “a little break” from the national team.
Ahmed Musa did not enjoy a minute at the AFCON in Cote d’Ivoire, where the Eagles finished as runner up.
He has been without a club since February when Turkish club Sivasspor terminated his contract.
“I only took a little break from the national team. But I didn’t exit the team,” he told journalists in Kaduna.
His last involvement with the Super Eagles was a seven-minute appearance in a friendly against Guinea earlier in January, with the last time he started a Super Eagles game going as far back as 2021.
