New Nigeria coach Augustine Eguavoen has handed a warning to Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi ahead of the African Cup of Nations.
Ndidi is a key player for the Nigerian national team but their new interim boss, who is in charge for AFCON, believes he can do more.
Eguavoen has reminded Ndidi of his potential in a public interview and admitted he has spoken to the 25-year-old about his concerns.
“When I see Ndidi in the midfield, not 100% Oliseh [Sunday, legendary African midfielder], but I think he is on his way to becoming one of the best defensive players in the world," Eguavoen told ATHLST.
“But he's holding back as far as I am concerned. He's got a lot to still give, but I think he is holding back.
“I have spoken to him on one or two occasions."
