Ahead of the team clash against Zambia in Lusaka, Super Eagles
Technical adviser, Genort Rohr has disclosed that the home based players will
be part of his World Cup plans.
The German tacticians made a winning start to his senior national
team job with a 1-0 win over the Taifa Stars of Tanzania in a 2017 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifier in Uyo.
Having named players such as Jamiu Alimi(Kano Pillars), Emmanuel
Daniel (Enugu Rangers) and Ikechukwu Ezenwa (FC IfeanyiUbah) in the squad that
confronted Tanzania, it's expected that more of the Nigeria Professional
Football League players could be giving a chance to prove their worth in the
team.
However, Rohr has admitted that the NPFL would be giving equal
chances in the team just as their foreign pros in the World Cup qualifiers.
"I am not loosing sight on the players playing in the Nigeria
Professional Football League because they are vital to my World Cup plans. As
you are aware that we invited three players against Tanzania and I believe more
of them would be part of the team," Rohr told Soccernet.com.ng.
"We are working tirelessly to ensure that we select the best
players that will be useful for the task at hand. I am not particularly
focusing my attention on the foreign based players because they play in Europe
or better than the home based players but due to their experience.
" What we need at this point is collective responsibility and
I believe the NPFL players will be relevant to my dream of building a solid
Super Eagles." he said.
Nigeria will face Zambia in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier in
Lusaka on October 9 and the Super Eagles list is expected to be released next
week.
