Ndidi Or Etebo: Who Will Be Affected By Aribo's Presence?

To many Super Eagles fans, new boy Joe Aribo is a replacement for retired John Mikel Obi but after watching his goalscoring debut on Tuesday, the Glasgow Rangers man could offer more to the team than the Chelsea legend.

Aribo's ability to turn defense into attack and his understanding with Alex Iwobi during the friendly game against Ukraine have given birth to a new question among the Super Eagles fanbase — Who will be dropped between Etebo or Ndidi?

Both players are arguably the most consistent names in Rohr's starting line-up since the German tactician took over the job from Sunday Oliseh three years ago.

Ndidi is more of  a ball-winning midfielder while Etebo is known as an all-round midfielder who can feature as an attacking midfielder and at the same time acts as a defensive midfielder.


As much as it could be hard for Rohr to drop either of his two favorite players, it won't be a surprise to see Rohr drop one of them to occupy the Rangers man in his midfield setup in subsequent matches.
