Super Eagles midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi is confident Nigeria will bounce back when they face Iceland in their second Group D game in the 2018 World Cup at the Volgograd Arena Stadium on Friday.
Ndidi was one of the most outstanding players on the pitch against Croatia, finishing the match with a game-high five aerial duels won and was the top man in tackles.

The Leicester City star said the Eagles should forget their 2-0 defeat to Croatia on Saturday and focus on how to beat the Iceland team.

”The match against Croatia was disappointing. However, we’ve moved pass that disappointment and we’re looking forward to the next game,” Ndidi told Fifa’s official website.

Ndidi suffered a hamstring injury towards the 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.
