Michael Babatunde has expressed his readiness to return to the Super Eagles squad.
The attacking midfielder who turned 22 years on December 24, 2014 has not played for Nigeria, since he picked up a hand injury against Argentina at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Babatunde revealed he was back to full fitness and promised to deliver his best.
“I feel very bad but that is the game for you. I was injured twice and went for surgery twice but thank God I’m back on my feet again,” Babatunde told Goal.
“Football is a game where people get a chance to exhibit their skills and you expect the coach to seek for alternatives in the absence of others.
“Well, I’m not worried whether I will lose my place in the team or not – it is just a wakeup call for me to get back to my best towards getting a national team call up while I leave the rest for national team selectors to invite me.”
The Volyn Lutsk player also said that his best moment of 2014, was representing Nigeria at the World Cup in Brazil.
“It is was no easy feat playing for my country at the Fifa World Cup – which I think is the biggest thing to have happened to me this year, he continued.
“I would have expected to play more games in the tournament but for the injury. All the same, I give God all the glory.
“Since my return from the Brazil World Cup, my fans have tasked me to do more which I think is my driving force. In 2015, I hope to do more while praying I stay out of injury too.”
