Ighalo was recalled to the Super Eagles for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde late last month by Gernot Rohr, more than two years after he retired from international football.
Finding implied yesterday that the former Manchester United on loan player has conceded the number 9 jersey to current handler of the shirt, Victor Osimhen.
Ighalo is believed to have asked Osimhen to keep the number 9 while opted for the number 25 he wore at Old Trafford as show of maturity.
