The 2013 AFCON Kings will be playing their first competitive match since last month’s memorable victory in South Africa when they host Harambee Stars of Kenya in an important World Cup qualifier in Calabar.
The CSKA Moscow youngster joined up with the rest of the Super Eagles squad in Calabar on Tuesday.He expressed confidence in the ability of the team to thrash the visitors.
“I wish to get one of the goals because I believe we will win convincingly. Kenya won't be a pushover, but we will prove to be superior to them," Musa asserted.
"I am here for business. The AFCON celebrations are over now. We are now focused on qualifying for the World Cup.”
The speedy and mobile attacker has netted four league from three league matches since he returned from his AFCON adventure.
In the absence of injured Spartak Moscow striker Emmanuel Emenike and Spain-based striker Ikechukwu Uche, Musa could well lead the Eagles strike force against Kenya with Michael Babatunde and Victor Moses on the wings.
The other change for the Stepen Keshi-tutored lads would be at right back following the suspension of Glasgow Celtic utility defender Efe Ambrose.
Fast rising Sunshine Stars defender Solomon Kwambe, who missed the final cut by whiskers to the Nations Cup, is widely favoured by pundits to add to his international caps with another appearance against Kenya
