Super Eagles heard coach Gernot Rohr has opened up his decision to invite three local players for the side’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Benin and Lesotho, reports Completesports.com.
Rohr originally named Enyimba goalkeeper John Noble in his 23-man squad for the qualifiers , but was later forced to hand late call-ups to Anayo Iwuala and Adeleke Adekunle after some foreign-based stars pulled out of the game.
“I was prepared, I didn’t just pick them out of the blues. We knew we could have players pulling out,” the coach told reporters on Tuesday.

“I have been following the NPFL games on TV and I saw the CAF game in Port Harcourt.
“It wasn’t my decision alone, the domestic coaches had input in the invitation of the three players (Noble, Anayo & Adeleke).”
