Rohr Reveals His Concerns About Ahmed Musa, Samuel Kalu And Moses Simon Ahead Of Super Eagles Clash With Sierra Leone

Rohr has revealed his concerns about Ahmed Musa, Samuel Kalu And Moses Simon ahead ff Super Eagles Clash With Sierra Leone later today.

Super Eagle’s coach Gernot Rohr believes that skipper Ahmed Musa has played less than expected at club level and the former Leicester City star will need a final assesment before the the final workout in order to decides whether or not to name the winger in the starting lineup.

Rohr also has concerns about the absence of two of his key wingers, Samuel Kalu and Moses Simon for the game againmst Sierra Leone later today.

Rohr is happy that Joe Aribo and Oghenekaro Etebo are back in the team after sitting out the games in October due to fitness issues.

“Etebo, Aribo, Osimhen are the players coming back; we are still missing our wingers Kalu, Simon; we are still missing Ndidi also, Uzoho is still not ready.

“Our two friendlies in Austria gave us opportunity to see new players so we saw for the first time Sanusi on the left back position.”

Everything is pointing to the fact that one of the most active players called up, Kevin Akpoguma will make his competitive debut against the Leone Stars and Rohr believes the Super Eagles defence is now more solid with the presence of the Hoffenheim star.

“We could give competition to Maduka, it’s so important the goalkeeper position, we could also see for the first time Akpoguma which means that our defensive block now seems to be stronger,” Rohr added.

“The comeback of Osimhen should be good for us, even if we miss Kalu and Simon but we have wingers.

“If he’s not starting he’ll finish it so we’ll decide which situation is better,” he stressed.

“And also on the wings we have the opportunity to see players like Ejuke and the comeback also of Dennis, who is one of the players playing Champions League . We only have three- Sanusi, Dennis and Onyeka,”

There’s a possibility of CSKA Moscow’s Chidera Ejuke and Club Brugge’s Emmanuel Dennis being handed minutes against Sierra Leone, Rohr told reporters during Thursday press conference in Benin ahead of Super Eagles clash against Sierra -Leone on Friday.
