Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has said former Sunderland forward may be invited for the

He explained Maja would have no problems with visa since he holds a British passport.

“I have a lot of attackers, but it’s not impossible that I select it (smile). There we are going to play a game in Ukraine, and I was told that it was too late today at the VISA level for players who do not have a European passport. But he has some because he is also English, so he could eventually join us. It is possible that I call to go to Ukraine, it is possible,” he added.
