Bayer Leverkusen's head coach, Kasper Hjulmand, stated that the club will gain from Nathan Tella’s exclusion from Nigeria’s squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
However, Hjulmand noted that the winger is disheartened by his omission from the squad.
Tella was among the prominent absentees from the Super Eagles’ 28-man roster announced by head coach Eric Chelle this week.

At 26 years old, he will now have to wait before adding to his two caps for the Super Eagles.
“This is advantageous for Leverkusen, of course. However, Nathan had genuine hopes,” Hjulmand remarked ahead of Leverkusen’s Bundesliga match against Cologne.
