Nigerian international striker, Henry Onyekuru is looking forward to his first official debut for Nigeria as the Super Eagles face the Desert Warriors of Algeria today in Constantine in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier.
The dead rubber clash is scheduled to kock off at 8:30pm Nigeria time.
Onyekuru expressed his delight on Twitter after the RSC Anderlecht (on loan from Everton) forward made his first appearance in a non-competitive game against Togo in June this year.
He played against the Sparrow Hawks in a cameo role as the Super Eagles won 3-0, but was not been invited by coach Gernot Rohr since the outing.
However, the forward has an opportunity to impress the manager, Gernot Rohr ahead of the World Cup in Russia as the 2013 African champions have already secured their place after garnering 13 points from five matches in the qualifiers.
“My first full international call up for the Nigeria National Team! God is great,” Onyekuru tweeted.
“Blessed to be able to share this moment with these guys and we will do our best to make Nigeria proud.”
