Aribo's ability to turn defense into attack and his understanding with Alex Iwobi during the friendly game against Ukraine have given birth to a new question among the Super Eagles fanbase — Who will be dropped between Etebo or Ndidi?
Both players are arguably the most consistent names in Rohr's starting line-up since the German tactician took over the job from Sunday Oliseh three years ago.
Ndidi is more of a ball-winning midfielder while Etebo is known as an all-round midfielder who can feature as an attacking midfielder and at the same time acts as a defensive midfielder.
Judging by Aribo's inspiring display against Ukraine, the 23-year-old has all it takes to feature as an attacking player and a box-to-box midfielder.
He possesses the energy to hold the ball for a long period of time and his passes are goal-oriented ones.
As much as it could be hard for Rohr to drop either of his two favorite players, it won't be a surprise to see Rohr drop one of them to occupy the Rangers man in his midfield setup in subsequent matches.
