New technical adviser of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has called
up 23 players for the 2017 African cup of Nations qualifier against
Tanzania in Uyo on 3rd of September 2016.
The
German tactician surprisingly called up youngster Victor Osimhen and
Ifeanyi Ubah goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, while other bigger names like
Victor Moses, Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo and John Mikel Obi make the
cut.
It will be Rohr's first match as Nigeria boss, and although Nigeria
