I wonder what happened to Adeleke the defender previously called up and didn’t see action. Plus Anaemena, Ikefe, and Olisa are players with exceptional track records …Rohr should please explain to Nigerians
There are those asking online about Joshua Akudje in Latvia.
Ozornwafor who hasn’t seen much action in Turkey and the last time he was called up in 2019 or so was drafted into the U23s to rescue them.
If I’m being perfectly honest, the Valentine call-up is a real head-scratching decision.
Let’s assume Balogun and Semi pulled out, Omeruo is blocked by his club/not fit, Akpoguma not fit, that’s 4 players out, who are the options.
Nobody is talking about Igoh Ogbu playing with Lillestrom who has been active consistently over the years, even Junior Pius at St Trudien has played a lot more than Val, Saturday Erimuya in the Copa del Rey and Segunda is a better option, heck even Kelechi John Christian in Casa Pia.
Yes, it looks like scraping the barrel with those options, however, the NPFL players mentioned at the top in addition to the “lower League” defenders mentioned later all have far more playing time and at the same competitive level as the Turkish choice…
