NFF Waiting On Super Eagles Coach To Submit List Of Invited Players For WCQ Vs Algeria

Super Eagles manager Genort Rohr is expected to submit the list of players he intends to invite for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria this weekend, contrary to the names being bandied about by the local press.

The German tactician was in the United Kingdom on Tuesday and Wednesday to hold discussions with English-based trio Obi Mikel, Isaac Success and Odion Ighalo about the match with the North Africans in Uyo.

“We have heard so many names but honestly the Coach has not sent the list yet until this weekend, ” a Nigeria Football Federation insider told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“He just finished his trip to the United Kingdom and will conclude his list before sending to us.”

With the Nigeria Professional Football League on recess, it is common knowledge that majority of the players that will be invited for the crucial World Cup qualifier are foreign-based stars.
