Marvin, the father of ADO Den Haag defender, Tyronne Ebuehi, has expressed his delight over his son’s decision to finally commit his international future to Nigeria.
Ebuehi has a Dutch mother, but his father is from the African country.
He was named in coach
He was named in coach Gernot Rohr’s squad to face Algeria in a 2018 World Cup qualifier last November, but the 21-year-old rejected the call-up explaining the time was not right .
Ebuehi was in line for his debut against Burkina Faso in an international friendly on Monday, but the game has been called off.
“I must confess to you that I am glad that he has finally committed to Nigeria. I am very proud as a father. The first call-up, there was a misunderstanding and things went the way they did, unfortunately,” the Nigeria Football Federation’s official website quoted Marvin as saying on Sunday.
“I apologise for that misunderstanding. I have always said that he would have to play for Nigeria at senior level, because I am proud of my country.
