Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has submitted the list of players who will represent Nigeria in their upcoming friendly games next month.
Nigeria will take on Tunisia on the 9th of October before squaring up against Côte d’Ivoire four days later at same venue in Austria.
The aim of the game is for the coach to assess some players who have been doing well for their respective teams in Europe, hence he has called up some new players.
Also the coach called up on loan Benfica defender Tyronne Ebuehi who has displayed nothing but class since joining FC Twente In the Dutch Eredivisie.
As at the time of filing this reports, we are still unclear about the inclusion of Shehu Abdullahi and Josh Maja of Bordeaux. Shehu recently moved to Omonia Nicosia of Cyprus on a free transfer from Bursaspor.
He will likely miss out in a bid to allow him settle in his new environment and in his position they are other players who are presently at the peak of their game.
