Croatia Scout: Rohr Has Doubts About Super Eagles GKs & Fullbacks
Published: June 01, 2018Croatia National Team scout Ognjen Vukojević has revealed that Super Eagles boss Gernot Rohr has doubts about his goalkeepers and fullbacks ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
Everyone can predict that the likes of Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun, Obi Mikel, Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, Alex Iwobi and Eddy Onazi are the likely starters against Croatia on June 16 but there is uncertainty regarding the fullback positions and the goalkeeper, though Francis Uzoho looks to be ahead in the pecking order.
''It is visible that Rohr has several other dilemmas, that he is not sure who will be his goalkeeper, who will play on the two sides positions,'' Vukojević told Sportske Novosti.
''But I will not get into deeper analysis. We will of course now everything there is to know about Nigeria. Firstly, I will tell everything to our coach. He will have all the information.''
Abdullahi Shehu, Tyronne Ebuehi, Ola Aina and even Kenneth Omeruo are competing for the Super Eagles right-back spot, while Elderson Echiejile, Brian Idowu and the former England U19 skipper have been deployed at left-back in recent training sessions.
Rohr must announce his final roster for the World Cup by June 4, 2018.
