Odion Ighalo
Super Eagles Technical Adviser says he’ll stick with Odion Ighalo despite the forward’s below par performance at the 2018 World Cup.
Ighalo came under a barrage of criticism for his role in Nigeria’s painful loss to Argentina, but Rohr said he’ll keep faith with the Changchun Yatai goal machine because of he had proven in the past that he could be trusted as a poacher.
Mikel Obi, Moses Simon, Shehu Abdullahi and Tyrone Ebuehi have all been ruled out of Nigeria’s AFCON qualifying match against Seychelles next month due to injuries.
Rohr gave the injury update earlier today in Lagos and admits that though they’ll be sorely missed, their unavailability informed the invitation of several new faces.
