Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has assured Justin Njinmah of German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen that he will get an invitation to the team, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
The 25 year old who was born in Germany to Nigerian parents has long voiced his desire to play for the senior national team of Nigeria, rather than wait for a chance with Germany.
However he hasn’t been given a look in by Chelle, who has already capped his teammate and fellow German born in Felix Agu.
This season he has played in 28 Bundesliga games with five goals to his name, but still hasn’t found favour with Chelle who is still heavily reliant on the wingers available to him.
Njinmah could be next in line for a Super Eagles debut by Chelle, and it will likely happen in the Unity Cup next month.
” Chelle is aware of him and he has been assured that he will be given a chance. He just need to stay consistent and his time will come maybe more likely in the Unity Cup. It’s one step at a time for new players”, a source revealed.
