Chelsea loanee, Kenneth Omeruo has revealed that Leon Balogun and Troost-Ekong pairing in the Super Eagles defense will affect his position in the team with the Alanyaspor defender playing in the right back position.
Omeruo, however, vowed to play in any position for the team to help in achieving their set goal of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia.
“We all are playing as a team with one goal of making it to the World Cup, whoever the coach selects will definitely give his all,” Omeruo disclosed exclusively to allnigeriasoccer.com at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja.
“Whichever role the coach thinks I can play in the team I will definitely give my all. Playing from the right back against Algeria is just like am playing at the heart of the defense.”
He added; “As a Nigerian, I am ready to play anywhere and give my all to the team. As long as we get the results and we are able to qualify for the World Cup in Russia.”
He has featured in all the World Cup qualifying games under coach Gernot Rohr and was substituted in the second half against Algeria after picking up a knock.
Besides the problematic Eagles right fullback position, the left back occupied by Elderson Echiejile is also under threat, officials have hinted.
