Super Eagles and Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has told those who care to listen that South Africa will approach the 2026 World Cup qualifier with revenge in mind.
Ndidi, who made the remarks in a chat with NFF TV, said that the Super Eagles are expecting that approach from the South Africans because it is not going to be an easy game.
“They’ll come for revenge, and for us as a team, we know that we are expecting that because it’s not going to be an easy game. When they look back and know the fact that we knocked them out in the semifinal.” The player said.
Ndidi, who had agreed to a £17 million transfer from Genk to Leicester City, on December 3, 2016, bemoaned the fact that some Super Eagles players had not yet arrived at camp because of the Labor strike on Monday.

“To be honest, it has affected the preparation because normally we’re supposed to start training on Saturday and like three days gone and we’ve not been together, you know, like.
“I think it has affected the team in some way where like we’re supposed to know what we’re doing, how to approach the game, but we haven’t been able to do that.
“But I think a few of them coming in today and then the others coming in tomorrow, I think will be a great addition for us to like to prepare quicker.”
“The way we perform at the AFC has raised some standards and then the expectations now are high.” He noted.
