2018 World Cup: Stephen Eze reacts after being dropped from Super Eagles’ squad
Lokomotiv Plovdiv defender, Stephen Eze has expressed disappointment following coach Gernot Rohr’s decision to drop him from the Super Eagles’ squad for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Rohr has cut down his provisional squad for this summer’s World Cup from 30 to 25 players.
Eze was named in the Super Eagles 30-man provisional roster following a bright start to his career at Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
He is, however, one of the five players that won’t be travelling to London for the friendly game against England at Wembley on Saturday.
In a Twitter post, Eze stated , ”Sadly, my journey to #WorldCup ends here. I am disappointed to not make the final squad, but I want to thank our coach & management for the opportunity.
”I wish my team the best & hope to join in celebrations when they bring the trophy home! GO #NIGERIA! #DefendLikeEze.”
Kano Pillars’ striker, Junior Lokosa, Standard Liege midfielder, Uche Agbo and Plateau United player, Dele Ajiboye were not selected in the 25-man group, while Gent’s Moses Simon will travel with the team to London to undergo another medical examination.
