Mikel Obi dismisses Gernot Rohr's claims about his future with Super Eagles 36 minutes ago 1833 views by Uchenna Ajah - John Obi Mikel has rejected claims credited to Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr for his exclusion from Nigeria matches in November- Rohr was quoted as saying that Mikel was no longer interested in playing for Nigeria- The China-based midfielder insists the 2019 AFCON remains his priority Nigeria’s captain John Obi Mikel and Ogenyi Onazi have reacted to claims credited to Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr as reasons for excluding them for the 2019 AFCON qualifier against South Africa and the international friendly with Cranes of Uganda next month. According to the Sun report citing footballlive.ng, the pair have rejected the Franco-German manager’s reasons from not extending an invitation for November’s double header.Speaking on Tuesday with Kwese ESPN, Rohr admitted that Mikel was no longer interested in playing for Nigeria, at the moment. “Mikel told me that he would tell me when he will be ready to come back. He didn’t tell me yet. So I wait,” the German tactician noted, even as he was quick to add. “I hope that we can go with him to AFCON and win it for him.” However, in a chat with Footballlive.com from his base in China, Mikel revealed he has not stopped representing Nigeria, rather he was battling fitness issues presently. Mikel Obi dismisses Gernot Rohr's claims about his future with Super Eagles“My commitment to the national team remains 100%; I still remain a part of the team and will always support the lads. “The Nations Cup remains our ultimate goal for now and we are just one point away from reaching that target,” Mikel added. On his part, Turkey-based Onazi is still unhappy about rumors mongers, who claim he was not injured in the Super Eagles camp. “Why would I fake injury, I was injured in training and I had to rest the leg which I did. “I am a professional player with a 100 percent dedication to my job, I have always believed in professionalism which is key and that has helped me a lot in my career. “I have played for this country even with injury before, I think I deserve some respect from this people who are spreading such bad information about me.“ I have to respect the coach’s decision for leaving me out of the tie for now. https://www.legit.ng/1201271-mikel-obi-dismisses-gernot-rohrs-claims-future-super-eagles.html 1 Like |

daveP: Thank you for the observation and this comment. Firstly, though I personally do not condone insults but there is nothing demeaning about any discussions or arguments going on here. Fact that people are arguing viciously a course here only goes to show the deep concern some of us have about Nigerian football. Davep, I have always known you on this thread but have also known u are not among those regular contributors. I bet you to get more involved in discussions and see if you will not find yourself in one heated argument or the other. Yes, that is what it is "heated arguments". There is nothing happening here now that has never been happening before. These arguments are what keep the thread going. A lot of us do not do insults here because we always know when to stop when the heated arguments are beginning to go over the roof. There are some people who cannot just look away when certain skewed information are being posted here. If anyone has any reason to oppose any view he should be ready to back it up with valid facts. That's all! As long as we all remain on this thread there is no way we will all reason alike. And so you should expect more heated arguments to continue. However, as we have always cautioned, ''do not blow below the belt''. 2 Likes |

Rot-Weiß
Oberhausen
glovesman
Robin Udegbe
has reiterated
his desire to
play for the
Super Eagles
ahead of his
country of birth
Germany and is
hoping to be considered for selection by
manager Gernot Rohr.
Born in Kiel, Germany, Udegbe played on the
same VVV Venlo team as Ahmed Musa,
Michael Uchebo, Uche Nwofor and Alex
Nkume and has revealed that he is still in
close contact with the quartet though they
have all moved on to pastures new.
At the moment, Elche's Francis Uzoho is
ahead in Rohr's pecking order of goalkeepers,
with Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi
acting as cover.
''My father is from Anambra State, I want to
represent my country. If given the chance,
will grab it with two hands,'' Udegbe told
Channels Television.
''I am 27 years old, I was born in Kiel. I want
to offer my goalkeeping qualities to Nigeria, I
will give one hundred percent if given the
chance.
''I played together with Ahmed Musa, Michael
Uchebo, Uche Nwofor and Alex Emennike. We
used to spend time together, ate together, we
are still in contact especially Uche Nwofor.
We talk about Nigeria.''
Asked if he has had any kind of contact with
German coach Rohr, Udegbe answered : ''No,
not yet. If there will be contact I will be very
happy about it but there's no contact yet.''
This season, Udegbe has posted six shutouts
in 15 appearances in the German
Regionalliga West and conceded 16 goals. Rot-Weiß
