Coach of Nigeria’s national team, Gernot Rohr, has said he will blood new players in the upcoming international friendly match against Cameroon.
The Super Eagles are scheduled to play the Indomitable Lions at the Weiner-Neustadt Stadium in Vienna on June 4.
The match will be part of the team’s preparations ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers which will begin in September.
“This friendly against Cameroon is an interesting game because we are going to have some of the new players, since some of our regular players will not be available due to injuries, and it is not easy to have everybody at this period because it is also the offseason period,” Rohr told Caf website.
“It is a big test game and an opportunity to test the new players.
“Of course, we are not going to play for the result against Cameroon in Austria, but it’s an opportunity to see our boys and see something different with our systems against a very good team that will host the next Afcon.”
