Rohr Drops Big Hint Aina & Iwobi Will Start Vs Algeria: How Team A & B Lined Up
Published: November 08, 2017
Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has dropped a big hint about the eleven players that will start in the national team's final 2018 World Cup qualifier against Algeria on Friday, November 10.
Based on the team's workout on Wednesday evening, the only thing that didn't add up was his decision to include Tianjin Teda midfielder John Obi Mikel in the Team B, otherwise he gave a clue as to his probable first-choice to start against the Desert Foxes.
After an initial physical session of stretching and running, Rohr organized a mini-game between Team A and Team B.
By all indications, Chelsea defender Ola Aina is poised to make his full debut for the Super Eagles as he was in Team A, along with Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi.
Young Deportivo La Coruna goalkeeper Francis Uzoho is expected to be named on the substitutes bench against the Desert Foxes, having featured for the Team B.
The formation used in training today is not cast in stone, everything will become clearer when the team have their final workout on Thursday, November 9.
Team A : Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Ola Aina, Abdullahi Shehu, Leon Balogun, Troost-Ekong, John Ogu, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Tony Nwakaeme, Alex Iwobi
Team B: Francis Uzoho (Daniel Akpeyi), Uche Agbo, Tyronne Ebuehi, Chidozie Awaziem, Kenneth Omeruo, Obi Mikel, Chidiebere Nwakali, Ahmed Musa, Henry Onyekuru, Olarenwaju Kayode
