Rohr Names Seven Super Eagles Players Likely To Be Handed Roles Against Sierra Leone
Published: November 13, 2020
Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has identified seven Super Eagles players likely to feature in Friday evening's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sierra Leone.
The German football tactician stopped short of saying he will play with two strikers after revealing that he will decide which of Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho starts and suggested that Napoli's Victor Osimhen will lead the attack.
Rohr also namechecked Joe Aribo, Oghenekaro Etebo, Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze as he spoke about his strategy for the third matchday.
"What we want to do at first is to find again our quality football, our midfielders are back again," Rohr told reporters at Thursday's pre-match press conference.
"We have Etebo and Aribo, we still have Alex Iwobi so we can play our passes quickly, few touches, Chukwueze coming in helping, Osimhen in the front, we'll see if Musa is able to start or Iheanacho is better.
"If one of them is not starting, he'll finish it so we will have a good collective work to do, good teamwork and we have only one session for everybody to prepare so we have to be concentrated and we have to be in our spirit, big determination and commitment more than ever.
"Such a short preparation in the circumstance is not easy for the team but I think they'll be ready for that".
"If one of them is not starting, he'll finish it so we will have a good collective work to do, good teamwork and we have only one session for everybody to prepare so we have to be concentrated and we have to be in our spirit, big determination and commitment more than ever.
"Such a short preparation in the circumstance is not easy for the team but I think they'll be ready for that".
Iheanacho and Musa are being considered for a starting role due to the absence of injured French-based wingers Moses Simon and Samuel Kalu.
