Super Eagles’ coach Gernot Rohr has expressed satisfaction that the team was able to discover new talents in spite of the disappointment of not playing Monday’s friendly against Burkina Faso.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Eagles were to play two friendlies but ended up playing only one against Senegal on Thursday, which ended 1-1.
Unfortunately, the scheduled second game against Burkina Faso at the same venue of The Hive in London was called off due to visa problems.
“We planned two international friendlies but could only play one. However, we were still able to do some work,” Rohr said on the Super Eagles official Twitter handle on Tuesday.
“We’ve been able to see some new players and young Nigerian talents here in the U.K, who could be part of our group in the future.”
Among the new players who were in camp with the Eagles were Chelsea’s Ola Aina, Arsenal’s Chuba Akpom, Isaac Success of Watford, and Olanrewaju Kayode of Austria Wien. Others are the duo of Joel Bazee of Hannover 96 and Tyronne Ebuehi of ADO Den Haag.
Rohr also revealed that he would return to Nigeria soon to scout for more players.
“I will be back in Lagos next week to watch some Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) games and see some of our home stars in action as we continue to plan ahead.”
