Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka has emphatically dismissed any concerns regarding his fitness ahead of Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 clash. Confirming he is fully fit and primed for action, Onyeka’s recent injury during the Super Eagles’ 3-2 triumph over Tunisia had sparked doubts. However, he now stands ready to contribute.

After remaining an unused substitute during Nigeria’s decisive 3-1 victory over Uganda, Onyeka spoke confidently to reporters in the Mixed Zone, stating, “I am fit, you don’t need to worry, I am fit,” with a reassuring smile.
