Troost Ekong To Captain Nigeria Against Ukraine by reportminds: 3:46pm On Sep 07, 2019
Troost-Ekong will lead Super Eagles against Shevchenko's Ukraine

Center-half, William Troost-Ekong will captain the Super Eagles in Tuesday’s International friendly against Ukraine in Kyiv according to footballlive sources.
The development became a necessity after Skipper Ahmed Musa pulled out due to injury.

Ekong is next in line to the former CSKA Moscow forward in pecking order and has captained Nigeria a couple of times in the past.

Stoke City Midfielder Etebo Oghenekaro will deputize and will be next in line to wear the Captain’s armband.

Nigeria will play Ukraine on Tuesday at the Dnipro Arena in Kyiv, it will be the first time the two teams face off at senior level.

I knew it.

And come to think of it, Nigeria has never lost any match with Ekong as captain.

Leon Balogun sef. He's been less consistent a centre-back and is losing his position in Super Eagles. Goodluck Ekong

I disagree, musa might have not been particularly prolific, but he put up a good performance

Which good performance? Almost zero chance created, zero threat. All his crosses and passes were shit.
He was just running around dribbling himself.
