Rohr speaks on picking CHAN Eagles for upcoming friendlies

[Wsj]

Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has hinted at a possible invitation for CHAN Eagles left fullback, Ikouwem Udoh for Nigeria’s first set of friendly games ahead of the World Cup in March.

Nigeria will take on Poland and Serbia in March in two high profile friendly games.


Rohr says at least one of the players from the team that finished second in the tournament will be included.

Udoh is said to have won the heart of the coach, who is still searching for more options in the left-back position despite having Brian Idowu, Elderson Echiejile and Ola Aina.

“At first we will do a provisional list for the two friendly games in March. I hope that Ezenwa will recover from his knee injury well on time and probably there will be one other player from this team (CHAN Eagles) that will be invited,” Rohr told Sportinglife.

“Perhaps one or two of them will have a chance in a friendly. But I cannot announce yet our list for Poland and Serbia now. All of them will be monitored by our staff.


“I am sure by the beginning of March the list of players invited to play the Poland and Serbia friendlies will be out,”‎ he added.
