Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has reeled out conditions that must be met by any player who hopes to gatecrash into his squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, footballlive.ng reports.
While affirming that the current set of players in the Eagles have already laid a strong foundation for a successful outing at AFCON 2019, Rohr said chances will be given only to newcomers with special qualities.
The Franco-German gaffer added that any intending new member must also show an ability to offer something better than those already in.
An inside source, however, hinted that Rohr could be looking mostly at defenders during his build-up to the continental soccer showpiece, with a new goalkeeper also likely on the cards.
The source disclosed that Rohr is not satisfied with his full-back positions and is already scouting for new faces that would bring competition into the fight for shirts in those departments.
The insider disclosed: “Right now the full backs in the team don’t have stable clubs and the coach thinks they may not be ready psychologically.
“Many players have been touted for inclusion in the team, but nobody knows what the coach wants to do until he announces his squad.”
