.Okoye has not featured for Nigeria since committing an error in the Round of 16 clash against Tunisia at the 2021 AFCON which led to the Super Eagles’ exit from the tournament.
Speaking to the Udinese official website in a recent interview, Okoye admitted it was hard for him to watch the 2022 AFCON from home.
“I am very well now. I feel 100 percent. The national team is an important thing for me and I want to return as soon as possible,” Okoye said.
“It was hard watching the Africa Cup of Nations from home, but this is football.”
If Okoye is recalled to the national team he would have Stanley Nwabali, Francis Uzoho, Olorunleke Ojo to contend with.
The Super Eagles return to action in March international friendly window against the Argentine national team.
The match is slated to hold in the United States of America.
