Watford defender William Troost-Ekong has vowed that the Super Eagles will return stronger after narrowly missing out of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament.
Despite scoring from the penalty spot, Troost-Ekong ended up on the losing side, with Ghana qualifying due to the away goals rule.
In a post on Instagram after the match, the centre back described the result as “a bitter pill to swallow”.
“To all Nigerians, on behalf of the team, we want to apologise for not securing the World Cup ticket,” said Troost-Ekong.
“Despite giving it everything possible, it wasn’t meant to be.
“First and foremost, as Nigerians, we share your emotions and we take our responsibility as a group.
“We sincerely thank the Nigerian fans for their overwhelming support, the NFF President who did everything possible to make the qualification happen and of course the Minister.
“A bitter pill to swallow but believe me we will be back better and stronger!”
