FC Cincinnati v CF Montreal: Nwobodo return motivated by playoffs - Soccer News
"I am not someone that does something 50/50, I always give my all. So in anything I'm doing, in my rehab, in practice, everything, I'm giving it all. And I believe that once I give my all, every other thing will come."
"The motivation and the belief come from that I know I'm working to be back before playoffs, and my team believes that I will be back, so I have to do everything I can to get there. For them to believe that I will come back is a big motivation for me, so even if I have a little doubt as a human being on myself...I have them who believe in me and I can use that to believe in me. Most importantly, it's not just to play one [game], it's about to play one and play the next, and hopefully play all the games and help the team. I feel I can do that now because of what we've done."
Obinna Nwobodo rehabs to return for the playoffs after a quadriceps injury against CF Montreal. The 28-year-old had surgery and spent almost four months sidelined before intensifying recovery. Cincinnati sit second in the Eastern Conference and can secure a top-two finish by matching or bettering Inter Miami's result against Nashville SC. Nwobodo gives full effort in rehab and practice and draws motivation from teammates' belief in his return. He aims to play multiple games consistently to help the team. CF Montreal can finish no higher than 12th and lost only two of their last eight matches after Leagues Cup fixtures. Evander scored 17 goals and provided 14 assists in 2025 and has formed a strong partnership with Kevin Denkey.
