John Ogu has expressed his disappointment at being left
out of Nigeria's 30-man preliminary squad for the World Cup, but vowed to come
back stronger and rallied support for the squad.
The Academica midfielder appeared to have paid the price
of irregular football with just 8 appearances this season and was naturally
disappointed by his exclusion.
"Gutted I didn't make the preliminary squad,"
Ogu posted on his Instagram handle. "Nigeria is blessed with a lot of
players; we all can't make the list. Every player wants to be at the World
Cup."
Ogu expressed his appreciation to Nigeria coach Stephen
Keshi, who have him his debut, and asked Nigerians to support the team.
"I want to thank coach Keshi for the opportunities
he gave me. I remain grateful for all. He made my dream come true as a player
to serve my great nation which I'm always proud of.
“Thanks everyone for your support. Let's pray for the
lads. Let's support the team as much as we can because I believe in the manager
and the squad selected.
"We are family. I will come back stronger."
