AFCON Qualifiers: Rohr Lists Criteria For NPFL Players

Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, is stalling on the immediate consideration of players in the Nigeria Professional Football League for national team assignments ahead of next month’s final set of qualifying matches for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, Tidesports source reports.
The Franco-German coach speaking in a chat with Tidesports source said he was excited to see the top-flight football league in Nigeria return to television and has seen some games already. He also added that he will be watching more games but that there was the need to see more league games and what the players were doing before having them considered for the national team.
“I’m very happy that we can watch now the games of the league in NPFL from everywhere in the world so it’s good to know, good to see.
“I saw days ago the match of Abia Warriors against Rangers and I watched the match of Rivers United against Enyimba for the African competition. We have to watch and it’s depending on what they are doing all week long to make a good match. They didn’t play for nine good months and also didn’t qualify for CHAN in Cameroon. So we hope to have better times with the home-based players.”
