W/Cup Qualifier: Rohr Lines Moses, Success As Jokers

​Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr is not pretending that all is well with his team as he wants to employ everything at his disposal against the Desert Foxes of Algeria to ensure the all important 2018 World Cup qualifying match in Uyo ends in Nigeria’s favour.

Rohr has disclosed that only match-fit Eagles will be made to face Algeria in Uyo and his ultimate target was the three points at stake.

A camp source disclosed to Sports Vanguard that the Franco-German tactician has his joker against the Algerians who will feel contented with watching the Nigeria vs Zambia. “If they think after watching that match alone is enough study of the Nigerian team then they should be ready for surprises. The coach intends to rejig some of the players that did not feature against Zambia and some who were excused because of injuries.

We can confirm that the trio of Leon Balogun, Victor Moses and Isaac Success who were excused from the game against Zambia, because of reported injuries copped during their respective club engagements and who have since returned to action would be unleashed on the North Africans.

Rohr confirmed this when he said Victor Moses, Isaac Success, Leon Balogun and Odion Ighalo would be part of the Uyo encounter.

There had been some reported controversy surrounding the withdrawal of Success and Chelsea winger Victor Moses, with some suggestions they had dropped out over a dispute over a flight ticket.

However, Rohr insisted that the injured players would get their chance when Nigeria host Algeria on November 12.

“Yes, we should expect to see some new players join us for the game against Algeria,” Rohr said in Abuja, on return from Zambia.

“The three injured players Leon Balogun, Moses and Success] and the one that had a family issue and had to be excused will all be back.

“We shall also look at other players who play regularly in their clubs who may join the team.”
