Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has confirmed to Sportinglife.ng that there will be no automatic shirts for those regarded as first team players after Nigeria lost 2-1 to England on Saturday in London.
The Franco-German tactician disclosed this to Sportinglife.ng before traveling to Austria.
The supposedly first team fell flat 2-0 in the first half which made Rohr introduce fresh players in the second half.
“First half was bad but the second half was good in a different organization. The four substitutes namely Kenneth Omeruo, John Ogu, Tyronne Ebueh and Oghenekaro Etebo at half time changed the match in our favour”, the Eagles gaffer said.
He then announced happilly that Wilfred Ndidi who is recuperating will play on Wednesday against Czech Republic in Austria which would be the team’s last warm up match before flying to Russia.
Rohr also told Sportinglife.ng that he had a recovery plan set up for Ndidi by the team doctor, Ibrahim Gyaran which the player has been following religiously.
