Rohr Explains Why He Invited Premier League Talents Iheanacho, Iwobi & Success For WCQ
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has explained why he invited young stars Isaac Success (Watford), Kelechi Iheanacho (Man City) and Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) for the World Cup qualifiers.<br /><br />Iheanacho and Iwobi started both games against Zambia and Cameroon, while the Hornets number ten missed out as a result of injury. <br /><br />“As the team and the country had been deeply affected by failing to qualify for the finals in Gabon, I wanted to bring in some younger players into the squad. <br /><br />“This, of course, is without closing the door on anyone,” Rohr told fifa.com. <br /><br />Rohr is not totally neglecting experience and the likes of Mikel, Echiejile, Onazi, Ideye and Ahmed Musa were handed opportunities to add to the international caps against Zambia and Algeria. <br /><br />Nigeria will face Cameroon in Uyo in their next World Cup qualifier in August.<br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br />
