However, in a chat with Completesports.com, Ugbade noted that Musas experience may have played a key role for his inclusion.

Musa is a player that understand the Africa Cup of Nations having played in the tournament several times.

You deny the fact that sometimes you need a bit of experience in a team that will guide the younger players and that I feel played a role for his inclusion.

Musa may not be playing 90 minutes for the Super at the tournament but his experience may come handy when the chips are down.

The Super Eagles will commence their campaign against Equatorial Guinea on January 14.
