Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, has said the 2017 African Nations Cup ticket is still within the reach of the three-time African champions.
Nigeria lies second in its qualifying group, two points behind leaders Egypt after two rounds of matches, africanFootball.com reports.
Both countries will clash home and away in March next year.
Ighalo, who is among the 24 players called up by Sunday Oliseh for next month’s friendlies against Cameroon and Congo, admitted it’s a tight situation but the Nigerians still have their destiny in their hands.
“The 2017 AFCON ticket is within our reach, this is football and you can never say. We still have to play the group leaders Egypt home and away. Those matches are of great importance to our ambition,” he told africanFootball.com.
“I think we have chance to grab the ticket as the group leaders, although it is a bit difficult, but by God’s grace and hard work, we will qualify.”
