The duo of Kingsley Michael and Innocent Bonke will get more invitation to the senior national team of Nigeria according to coach of the team Gernot Rohr.
They were both handed a starting spot by the coach for yesterday’s 2-1 win over Cape Verde in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and left a positive impression on the coach.
Their invitation and subsequent game time was due to the unavailability of eight regular players but Rohr says their performance means they will now be part of the squad for subsequent games.
He admitted that although they struggled initially to get into the rhythm of the game, they adjusted brilliantly and played a huge role in the away win. “The new players have brought in new competition to the first team. We have had Bonke in our scouting team, they did well, we missed harmony in the early moment but they did a good job. We will see them more now”, the coach said.
