Barring any last minute change of plans, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr isn’t thinking of including Fenerbahce FC of Turkey’s new loanee Victor Moses and Middlebrough FC of England’s midfielder John Mikel Obi in the March 23 Africa Cup of Nations dead rubber game against Seychelles inside the late Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.
Sportinglife.ng scooped further that Rohr may have excluded the team’s captain John Mikel Obi on grounds of not being physically fit for the two matches in March 23 and 26. What this development translates to is that Mikel and Moses are tentatively out of the March 26 international friendly game against the Pharaohs of Egypt, also inside the Keshi Stadium in Asaba.
Not much was divulged to Sportinglife.ng when the list of players would be made public. But feelers from those who should in the team suggested that rohr has settled for a 23-man squad for the games against Seychelles and Egypt.
Moses and Mikel joined new clubs during the January transfer window and they are presently enjoying their stay in Turkey and England with regular shirt appearances.
