Why Odemwingie Quit Super Eagles

Date:

In a recent live video on Instagram, former Lille and West Bromwich Albion star, Osaze Odemwingie, provided insights into the key reason behind his Super Eagles retirement.

Odemwingie, who departed the international stage at the age of 33, disclosed how the knee injury became a significant factor.

 

 

Despite having the potential to extend his career for a few more years, the injury posed a formidable obstacle.

During a live session, the former Super Eagles player explained how he copped the injury.

“Why did I stop playing for Nigeria early? It was not early. I was probably in the World Cup 2014, I was 33. Yeah, I could still play a few years but I got injured right after the World Cup. I had no pre-season on that week, I played three games in a role.

“My legs were tired. So my muscles didn’t hold the knee in a position that usually it will hold. It would hold the knee, but the knee just went. Yeah, the quads were tired,” he said in the video.
