Due to an injury, the 22 years old missed out on Arsenal's 1-0 win against defending champions, Manchester City, as the Gunners recorded their first win in 12 games.

Despite the England international playing against the likes of Lionel Messi, Eden Hazard, Bukayo Saka, and Bale, the 28-year-old regarded Victor Moses as his toughest opponent.

Messi emerges as one of the top contenders for the award, having won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Buba Ahmed was the Minister of Sports in 1983 under President Shehu Shagari's administration.

The ex-Super Eagles and Real Madrid midfielder has expressed confidence in the national team under the leadership of Jose Peseiro to bring home the prestigious football trophy.

Lionel Messi is among the players who can potentially take home football's Most Prestigious award, the Ballon d’Or.

The striker returned to Napoli, where the extent of his injury has now been confirmed, and he is set to be out of action for a period of four to six weeks.

Arsenal took the lead late into the game through a deflected Gabriel Martinelli strike, which was enough to give the Gunners their first Premier League win in 12 games.

Peseiro explained that he expected the Super Eagles to score more goals as they created more scoring opportunities against the Mambas yesterday.

The tactician is confident that the team boasts more than enough gun power to bring home the prestigious trophy for the fourth time with their last trophy victory in 2013.
