Omeruo who made a surprise appearance at the
national stadium Lagos, Friday said, “we still
have five more games to determine our fate.
Nigerians should continue to give us the desired
support and we will definitely excel.”
Although he regretted Eagles’ loss to the Bafana
Bafana, he was sure the team would bounce
back from that adversity. “I just see it as a
motivation. We have to work extra hard. For
South Africa we will still play them at their
home. We have a young team that plays really
well. We were all shocked about the loss. By the
time we play the other games in the group, we
will see,” he said.
The Chelsea defender was optimistic the defeat
to Bafana Bafana would not derail the Eagles’
march to the 2019 AFCON in Cameroon.
Omeruo asked Nigerians not to panic over the
forthcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier
against Cameroon.
He said, “We just have to keep training and
remain focused. I don’t think anyone will take it
lightly. Our midfielders, Mikel, Moses and other
senior players will have returned from injury by
then. I think we will be ready for Cameroon.”
On his future at Chelsea, Omeruo said , “For now
I am still a Chelsea player. I have always been
out on loan and now the loan is ended, I will
return to my parent club, Chelsea in July for the
pre-season.
It is then I will know whether I will be given out
on loan or I will be staying there. The decision
hasn’t been reached yet. The most important
thing is for me to keep playing. If I am to stay
and not play, then I would want to go elsewhere,
a place I can be playing regularly.”
