Super Eagles midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo has said that he is optimistic Nigeria can get the desired result in Johannesburg and return to the Nations Cup after a five-year absence.

The Stoke City of England midfielder, who spoke after the teamโ€™s first training session on Tuesday, further added that the team are still well boosted from their last outing against Libya and will at least get a point in South Africa.

โ€œI believe the confidence is high now after our away win in Libya, the task has been made less complicated, a win or a draw will ensure we qualify. It wonโ€™t be easy but Iโ€™m sure we will get the desired result,โ€ Etebo said.

Having fully recovered from an injury he sustained a few weeks ago, the Stoke City midfielder will no doubt anchor the Eaglesโ€™ midfield in the absence of Wilfred Ndidi, Mikel Obi and Ogenyi Onazi.
