Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has not handed an invitation to CS Sfaxien midfielder Kingsley Sokari, dubbed the Nigerian Iniesta, for the pre-World Cup friendlies against Poland and Serbia.

Tunisian outlet Gnet earlier claimed that the playmaker will definitely be summoned by the Nigeria Football Federation for the friendlies which has not happened.

It is understood that Sokari is not in contact with Rohr and Nigerian Federation officials regarding a recall to the Super Eagles as at Tuesday, March 6.

And bearing it in mind that it would take up to three weeks for the former Enyimba man to process visa applications to Poland and England, it is safe to say that he is not in the plans of the Super Eagles coaches for both games.

A product of Port Harcourt City Academy, Sokari starred for the Flying Eagles at the 2015 Fifa U20 World Cup and was on target from 25 yards out in their 4-0 win against Korea DPR .

He has full caps for the Super Eagles but has not been invited to the national team since the appointment of Gernot Rohr.
