Rohr Begins Running The Rule Over Onyekuru 1000 Hours; Seeks First Win Over Corsica

Gernot Rohr will begin running the rule over the Super Eagles players in camp on Wednesday morning.

The Super Eagles will hold their first training session on French soil at 1000 hours local time under the guidance of the German manager in the city of Ajaccio.

The squad will have breakfast at their hotel, Best Western Hotel, Ajaccio Amiraute, before stepping out onto the pitch.

The likes of Henry Onyekuru (Eupen), Dele Alampasu (Cesarense), Chidozie Awaziem (Porto) and Uche Agbo (Watford) will be keenly observed by the coaching staff during the training session.

Rohr is not a stranger in Ajaccio and is understood to have close ties to the Corsican Federation, Ligue Corse de Football.

He managed the local club Ajaccio for a year, and brought the national teams of Gabon (1-1) and Burkina Faso (1-0) to the Island in 2010 and 2015 respectively. The German manager has not won a game over the Islanders.
