Full House! 'We dont want to see new players again' - Rohr

Super Eagles of Nigeria

Super Eagles Head Coach Gernot Rohr has disclosed that there is no more space for fresh players in the team for the 2019 Africa Cup Of Nations in Egypt.


The days of searching for players to make the team for the AFCON was over since he had given enough time and room for more players to prove themselves and eventually make the AFCON team, he disclosed in Abuja to SportingLife.

He said he would only change his mind on the issue if he finds a player that is exceptional in the form of legendary Kanu Nwankwo, Austin Okocha, Victor Ikpeba to mention a few.

“I don’t think we want to see new players again for the in Egypt in June. We already have good players that have been with us for a while since the world cup qualifiers and the World Cup proper.

“We have seen new but very good players shortly after the World Cup in Russia. Players like Samuel Kalu, Samuel Chukwueze, Jamilu Collins Semi Ajayi."

These are relatively young players that have added quality to the team. Together with these four fresh players the Super Eagles won the ticket to play in the finals of this year’s AFCON.
