Rohr Has Not Contacted Enyeama Over Super Eagles Return For More Than Six Months

Suggestions that Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has recently opened a line of communication with Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama over his return to the national team are incorrect.

Rohr earlier claimed that he contacted the former Super Eagles captain before the World Cup qualifier against Algeria as first choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme was sidelined due to an injury.

“There is nothing like this except of course in the media because the last time Rohr spoke to Enyeama was in October,” said an official of the Super Eagles to scorenigeria.

“The goalkeeper trainer Alloy Agu has assured us he has enough capable hands in the absence of Carl (Ikeme).

“Besides (Daniel) Akpeyi and (Ikechukwu) Ezenwa, we also have Alampasu and Emmanuel Daniel.

“So, we are very much covered in that department.”

Enyeama retired from the national team in October 2015 due to a fractured relationship with ex-coach Sunday Oliseh.
