Dukla Banská Bystrica goalkeeper Mathew Yakubu has expressed his desire to still play for the Super Eagles.
Recall that Yakubu was handed his first call-up under Gernot Rohr in September 2020, for an international friendlies against the Ivory Coast and Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles.
As a Nigeria-born stopper making waves in Eastern Europe, Yakubu told Spectator that his dream is to help Dukla gain promotion back to the top-flight league.

“I’ve already been in the wider squad before. If we win promotion, maybe I’ll get that chance again.
“We want to be back in the first league—and I believe we can do it.”
“Our keeper didn’t show up for training, so the coach told me to go in goal. I conceded a few, but I loved it.”
This season, Dukla are top of Slovakia’s second tier—unbeaten, with Yakubu conceding just ten goals in fourteen games.
