2018 World Cup Friendlies: Mikel Obi, Etebo, Ebuehi To Start In Nigeria Vs Serbia Match
Head coach of the Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr will
have captain John Obi Mikel back for Tuesday’s friendly game against Serbia in
London.
The Tianjin TEDA midfielder did not play against
Poland on Friday, as he was unable to sort out logistic issues.
Rohr has however ruled out Bursaspor fullback, Shehu
Abdullahi, after he limped out of the Poland match.
Abdullahi was substituted with what looked like a
hamstring injury, with Tyronne Ebuehi coming in his place. He is expected to
undergo a scan while in the UK with the rest of the squad.
“We have some injured players ahead of the game
against Serbia, but we are hopeful the injury isn’t a serious one.
“Abdullahi will have a scan in England to determine
if he can play but like you saw today Ebuehi can play if he is not fit,” Rohr
said.
The coach also said he is hopeful that Las Palmas
midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo, will be available for the game.
