Leicester City midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, has revealed he was disappointed and shocked after Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup billed for Qatar later this year.
The Super Eagles, after playing a goalless draw in the first leg of the World Cup qualifier in Kumasi, once again played a 1-1 draw with the Black Stars in Abuja on Tuesday night, consequently crashing out of the World Cup to an away goal rule.
Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey got Ghanas’ goal in the 11th minute while William Troost Ekong equalized for Nigeria through a penalty 11 minutes later, as the match ended in a draw after full time.

“Wow,” the Leicester City star tweeted with a wailing Emoji.
The defensive midfielder was a big miss in the match, as his leadership in the middle of the pack was greatly missed.
