Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr will later in the week release the list of players who will prosecute Nigeria’s first two World Cup 2022 qualifiers game.
Super Eagles will start their campaign at home against Liberia before taking on Cape Verde three days later away from home. The aim will be to pick maximum points from both games.
The importance of picking two wins from the first two games means Rohr will go into the games with his strongest squad available.
