Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has disclosed
that he will maintain the same squad he used for their 2018 World Cup qualifiers
home and away against Cameroon, for their next home game against Zambia.
Nigeria need a win or a draw against Chipolopolo, to clinch
the sole ticket from Group B, after taking four points off the Indomitable
Lions recently.
Rohr however admits that the only new player that might come
in, is Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, who missed the last two fixtures with a
thigh strain.
“We will work with the same set of players for the game
against Zambia. Maybe Iwobi will return to the squad if he is fully fit. But
for now the players called up for the Cameroon games are same players we plan
to call for the game against Zambia,” he told Owngoalnigeria.com.
The game against Zambia is billed for October 7 in Uyo, Akwa
Ibom state.
