Eagles Coach Rohr Monitoring The Progress Of Recovering Injured Players Ahmed Musa & Ebuehi

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has said that he's monitoring the progress of recovering injured Super Eagles stars Ahmed Musa and Tyronne Ebuehi ahead of the international matches against Seychelles and Egypt in March.

While Benfica's Ebuehi has not kicked a ball in a competitive game this season after suffering a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of the left knee which required surgery, the Al-Nassr striker has not featured in his team's last two matches due to injury.

Quizzed about his programme ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Rohr told reporters, including Premium Times : ''We are still watching the players. We have a lot of work to do also with our systems in Europe to see the games -they didn’t stop in England – and then start it early in other countries.

''Even though it is cold now, they are still playing. So yes, it is a moment to monitor our players to see if they are fit and of course have some news also from our injured players like Tyronne who is playing but he can’t start in the training again.

''Also Ahmed Musa has an injury at the moment. We are following what they are doing.''

Rohr is expected to announce his roster for the Super Eagles first two matches this calendar year as from the next three weeks.
