Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed he is open to Victor Moses return but is yet to make a decision about who will captain his team at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Moses announced his retirement after the Super Eagles exit at the 2018 FIFA world cup, in other to face club commitment.
”We tried to convince him not to retire but he made his choice. If he reverses this decision, it’s up to him to tell us. We are open to dialogue but we will not kneel to ask a player to return,” Rohr confirmed.
When asked about who will captain the Super Eagles at AFCON, the German said: ”No final choice yet. I am expected to meet Obi Mikel soon to take stock with him, whether he wants to return to the team or not.
“He is playing again following his knee injury. It is not impossible that he will go to the AFCON if he feels ready.”
The Super Eagles will be in Asaba on June 2 to start their preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations and face Zimbabwe in a friendly on June 8 before their trip to Ismailia, Egypt.
