Tyronne Ebuehi made a miraculous recovery from a hamstring complaint he suffered while representing his Dutch club and was a second-half replacement for Shehu Abdullahi in Friday's win over Poland.

With Victor Moses opening the scoring around the hour mark, the ADO Den Haag right-back has revealed how Gernot Rohr's tactical advice helped the team win the game.

''We are just taking games one at a time. Everybody knows what we are trying to do in the dressing room so no danger of over confidence,'' Ebuehi told reporters in the mixed zone.

He added : ''The coach encouraged us to remain compact (after we scored) and shut down the gaps which the Polish side would want to exploit and I think we did that reasonably well.''

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Ebuehi has three caps for the Super Eagles in non-competitive matches against Togo, Argentina and Poland, and can still represent his country of birth if he is not cap-tied during the 2018 World Cup.

The Benfica-bound defender lasted twelve minutes on the pitch in yesterday's clash vs Poland.
