“To be honest there’s no pressure, we have senior players in the team helping out together with the coach and manager and I’ve been in the system long before I became captain so there’s no pressure.”<\/p>\n

Ndidi would be making his third appearance at the Africa Cup of Nations after making his debut at the 2019 tournament in Egypt, helping the Super Eagles to a third-placed finish.<\/p>\n

The former Leicester City star, who now plays for Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig, missed out on the Super Eagles squad for the 2023 AFCON edition due to injury.<\/p>\n

Under Portuguese coach Jose Peseiro, the Super Eagles reached the final before losing 2-1 to hosts country Cote d’Ivoire.<\/p>\n
