Bentford forward, Kevin Schade is no longer eligible to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

Before being cap-tied to Germany, the 22-year-old was eligible to play for Nigeria, where his father originally hails from.

Prior to his call-up for the UEFA Nations League matches in October, Schade played in three matches for Germany, but was still eligible to make a switch to Nigeria.
However, after he was not utilized off the bench in Germany’s 2-1 victory against Bosnia-Herzegovina last Friday, Schade became permanently cap-tied to his country of birth after replacing Aleksandar Pavlović in the 77th minute of a 1-0 win against the Netherlands.
