I will quit Eagles when my body says so’ —Ahmed Musa

Ahmed Musa, the captain of the Super Eagles, says he will keep playing football as long as his body permits him to.

The 30-year-old who became the first Nigerian to score more than once in a FIFA World Cup match disclosed this in a video sgared on his Instagram on Friday, while responding to questions about when he would quit the national team.

Ahmed Musa said: “We know our country. No matter what, whoever they call you, they have to talk. I don’t have to listen to anyone.

“I’m the one doing my job, but if my body wants me to stop, I’ll stop. I’m playing with my club and have a good contract, so why does anyone want me to resign from the national team?

“This is what I’m playing and know how to play. I give my best always when I’m called to the national team from day one and if the coach doesn’t call me anymore, then that’s fine.”
