Former Nigerian winger, Tijani Babanginda believes Super Eagles duo of Samuel Chukwueze and Sadiq Umar will pose big threat to Egypt in today’s Group D game of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Tijani made this known in an interview with FilGoal, where he said that Chkwueze’s mesmerizing skills and Umar’s goal scoring prowess will be of nightmare to the Pharaohs of Egypt.
Chukwueze has recovered from an injury that kept him out of action for his Villarreal side for months and looks set to take Africa by storm in the ongoing competition.
Sadiq on the other hand is making his first appearance for the senior national team and would hope to be named in Austin Eguavoen’s XI against Egypt.
However, Tijani is confident Nigeria will overcome Egypt today.
“Nigeria has individual players and also has new faces that can surprise the world if given the opportunity, such as striker Sadiq Umar and Samuel Chukwueze, a player who is good to watch.”
