Nathan Tella has disprove reports that he did not want to play for the Super Eagles and it describes it as a Wromg perception.
Speaking in the Super Eagles camp prior to the Unity Cup 2025 meeting with the black stars of Ghana, Tella revealed that he did not honor his last invitation for the team due to injury.
“I am happy to be back,” he said NFF TV. “There has been the perception that I did not want to play for the national team, that was never the case that I was called the last time I was called. I am glad that I am back, happy and honored to represent.
“It gives me the chance to connect to my roots, the land of my family, to represent myself and play with some of the best players in the country. It is a brilliant chance to improve as a player and to experience so many things.”

Tella expressed disappointment about the team’s poor campaign in the qualifications of the FIFA World Cup 2026.
“It is frustrating to look at what happens to the team. I know how hard we work to get to the World Cup. So we can only concentrate on what we can control, so now the chance is for us to make it right, to win a number of games.”
On the game with the Black Stars, the Bayer Leverkusen star added: “I always wanted to play games and this is one of the greatest rivalry in Africa and is part of it is a special feeling for me.”
