Rohr DENIES Reports Of Rift With Key Super Eagles Midfielder Eddy Onazi
Published: November 27, 2018Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr has denied speculations in the local media that there is an ongoing rift between himself and Trabzonspor midfielder Eddy Onazi.
The former Golden Eaglets star was surprisingly omitted from the Super Eagles squad against South Africa despite being fit and the unavailability of the suspended Wilfred Ndidi and injured captain Obi Mikel.
Speaking as a guest on SuperSport's Monday Night Football, Rohr stated : ''After compiling my list of players for any particular match, l submit to the President of the Nigeria Football Federation and the Technical Committee.
''I have to submit for them to approve. However there has never been any time where they have asked me to drop a player. That l would not accept. It is not true that l have issues with Ogenyi.''
Onazi started and went the distance in all the knockout games contested by the Super Eagles at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
