Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr has stated that he won’t bow to the pressure to admit players from the Nigeria Professional Football League.
Rohr revealed that only players who are worth it in the NPFL will make the National team.
The German tactician stated this in reaction to reports that a new contract which he’s expected to sign will require him to involve players in the local league in his squad.
“ They need to be consistent first and show me that they are good enough to compete with the players already in the team else it will be difficult as I won ’ t just invite a player to the team for just the cause, ” Rohr revealed .
“ We must try to find a perfect balance to ensure that we have the right blend and strength for every game . We invited one player recently for the game against Benin and Lesotho and hopefully , he maintains his form and also we are scouting for players who will add quality . ”
