Musa returns for Eagles as Rohr plans ‘killer’ Squad against Brazil 

Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has disclosed to SportingLife.ng that Captain Ahmed Musa will lead other crack players like defender Kenneth Omeruo, midfielder Alex Iwobi and Oghenekaro Etebo to battle against
Samba Boys of Brazil on October 13 in an international friendly.

He also requested for more than two days camping to prepare well for the friendly to shock the Brazilians.

“Most of the players who played against Ukraine like the Vice-Captain of the team Troost Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Ola Aina, Jamilu Collins, Francis Uzoho, and the other two goalkeepers will be recalled to battle against Brazil”

“Some of these players will be invited again now to play against Brazil because they did so well against Ukraine”, the Eagles’ gaffer disclosed.

“I hope we can have more than two (2) days of good preparations for this Brazil friendly. We had only two days of preparations in Dnipro when we (Eagles) played against the national football team of Ukraine
so that we can repeat this good performance against highly-rated Brazil as we had against Ukraine”, Rohr told SportingLife.ng from France yesterday.

“I am very happy about this Super Eagles friendly match against Brazil. I think this should be the only friendly game for us in this October FIFA window.

“Although the friendly is not against an African team since we are playing against African teams in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers here in Nigeria against the Benin Republic and away to Lesotho.
But yes it is fantastic to play against one of the biggest teams in the world.

“The players will have to travel far to the venue of the match which is Singapore, they won’t be required to come down to Nigeria first. Notwithstanding the joy of playing against Brazil supersedes the stress of long-distance traveling”, Rohr who is busy planning for his mother’s burial in France told SportingLife.ng.
