Monaco Loanee Echiejile Is The Only Recognized Left Back In Roster For Corsica Friendly

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has named only one recognized left fullback in the roster for the international friendly against Corsica on May 26.

And it's Monaco loanee Elderson Echiejile that got the nod of the German tactician ahead of Zulte-Waregem youngster Kingsley Madu.

On a personal note, Madu's omission is a big blow as he was going to be scouted by representatives of French Ligue 1 powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain, who have been tracking him before his move to Belgium.

The other player on the radar of PSG, Trabzonspor midfielder Eddy Onazi, has been omitted from the squad list due to club commitments in Turkey.

Kingsley Madu desperately wanted to join the Super Eagles in London for the international friendly versus Senegal in March, but was prevented from doing so due to a visa hitch.
