Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has clarified that Ahmed Musa is not in the 23-man squad for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin Republic and Lesotho later this month.
Rohr, speaking with Leadership, explained that Musa who is currently clubless, was not invited to play but as the captain of the team.
“He is not in the list of 23-man but he is invited like a captain, not like a player of the list,” Rohr said.
The Eagles gaffer however assured Nigerian football fans to expect good football and qualification tickets to the 2021 AFCON finals.
“Nigerians should expect good football and qualifications for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations,” he concluded.
Nigeria need just one point from the two matches to put their place in the African Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Cameroon next year.
