Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is confident the Super
Eagles will bounce back when they tackle Iceland in their second World
Cup fixture at the Volgograd Arena on Friday 22 June.
Nigeria started their World Cup campaign with a 2-0 loss to Croatia
in Kaliningrad, with the European opponents exploiting the Super Eagles
set-piece weakness to score in each half.
''The match against Croatia was disappointing. However, we've moved
past that disappointment and we're looking forward to the next game,'' Ndidi told Fifa's official website.
Ndidi suffered a hamstring injury in the tail end of the 2017-2018
campaign, but was declared fit to attend his first World Cup after going
the full ninety against the Czech Republic in a pre-World Cup friendly.
Against Croatia, the former Racing Genk starlet was one of the most
outstanding players on the pitch, finishing the match with a game-high
five aerial duels won and was the top man in tackles.
The Super Eagles trained this morning at their base camp in Essentuki.
