In - form Leon Balogun Pleased To Be Recalled By Nigeria

Darmstadt 98 defender Leon Balogun, 26, was pleased to be recalled to the Nigeria national team for their upcoming friendlies against Uganda and South Africa.

The right - back has been in the international wilderness for more than a year after injuring his right foot in a pre - World Cup friendly against Mexico, which contributed to his omission from the tournament in Brazil.

“I am very happy to be back with the Super Eagles. I’m really looking forward to linking up with my team mates in Uyo. I will be in Uyo on Sunday.

“I have already spoken with Anthony Ujah (also called up by Nigeria) and he’s also delighted,” said Leon Balogun to the official website of the Nigeria Federation, thenff.com.

Leon Balogun is in the form of his life, netting 3 goals in 13 matches in the 2 Bundesliga this term, his best tally since turning professional eight years ago.
