Gernot Rohr: My squad against Brazil ready

Nigerians rooting for Chelsea’s duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori to don the Super Eagles colours would have to wait a little longer, according to Coach Gernot Rohr.

Though enthusiastic about the prospect of adding the duo to the Super Eagles, the German said it is a long process before the players can make the expected switch since they had already featured for England.

He cited the fact that Abraham and Tomori have played with the English youth teams would make it difficult to process their eligibility for the Super Eagles.

He used Torino’s Ola Aina as an example of how difficult it was to change nationality.

“The two players (Abraham and Tomori) have already played with England and there is a long process to follow before they can feature for Nigeria,” Rohr said in a chat with NationSport.


He added: “It took NFF one year before we could get Ola Aina to play for us.”


Meanwhile, Rohr hinted that he has already submitted the Super Eagles team list for next month’s International friendly between Nigeria and Brazil to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

The Super Eagles will face the five-time world champions on October 13 at the National Stadium in Singapore.

The thee-time African champions, Nigeria begin their qualifying campaign for the 2021 AFCON on November 11 against Benin Republic at the southern Nigerian town of Benin City. Sierra Leone and Lesotho are the other teams in their qualifying group.

Isn't it time for Rorh to release list for the Brazil friendly yet?

if they do beyond normal... the core British nationals may revolt....

wish Southgate was some one with a strong aversion towards Africa especially Nigeria origin players....

charlesemeka85:

Eze,Ejaria - 50%

Tomori - 45%

Saka - 0%

TheSuperNerd:

charlesemeka85:

Joebie:
As shitty as the NPFL is, people will still be defending the league. How can you see dark and call it clear bright sky?

charlesemeka85:
i rate eze and ejaria 80%,then 50% for saka

charlesemeka85:
i rate eze and ejaria 80%,then 50% for saka

Earthquake1:


Saka peaked too early for us to have a chance, English people rate him beside Maddison and Sancho as 'the future'

TheSuperNerd:
Of all of them listed here the most important acquisition would be Ebere Eze if we pull it off.

tbaba1234:


The chances are lower than that.

Earthquake1:


Lookman - 80%

Eze,Ejaria - 50%

Tomori - 45%

Saka - 0%

pulls off? why are you guys giving up on eze playing for us? for christ sake it is obvious he wants to play for us and have made his intent known for some time now. playing a thousand games for the english youth teams wont stop him when the time is right,moreover he is not even a starter for the current english u21 team and was a bench player for their u20s..

he is one kid i am very sure will play for us.

TheSuperNerd:
Tomori 45%? I think that just got lower going by his latest comments in the light of his knowing that his performances for Chelsea could attract England boss Southgate...

This is Tomori when asked the question of international allegiance...

"I'm a citizen of all three (countries) so we'll see. I was born in Canada and lived there about seven or eight months old. My family is Nigerian, obviously I live in England. It's nice to have that. I can't play Under-21 football anymore so the last international break I didn't get called up to anyone. Next one maybe we'll see"
