Super Eagles Star Christantus Uch Dropped to U21 Team Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers
Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uch was demoted to the U21 team following a disappointing display in a match against Stevenage. The decision raises concerns as Nigeria prepares for important World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Benin Republic.
Uch, a key player for the national team, failed to impress in the recent game, prompting his club, Crystal Palace, to make the surprising move. The drop comes amidst injury concerns for forward Cyriel Dessers and the late arrival of internationals Ismaila Sarr and Daichi Kamada.
The Super Eagles face a challenging road to secure a spot in the World Cup playoffs.
