Adeleye says Super Eagles is ready to defeat Rwanda in world cup qualifier
Super Eagles goalkeeper Adebayo Adeleye has promised that the team will give everything on the pitch to claim all three points against Rwanda’s Amavubi.
Nigeria needs a win to keep their hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup alive, with the tournament set to take place in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The crucial qualifier will be played in Uyo on Saturday.
The Eagles were previously held to a 1-1 draw at home by Zimbabwe, a result that piled pressure on them to deliver this time. Adeleye, who has returned to the squad after missing out on AFCON 2023, stressed the importance of the clash.
“We are ready for Rwanda, they must fall,” he said confidently. “Everyone is prepared, we know what’s at stake, and we can’t afford to waste this chance.”
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
