Samuel Chukwueze will be named in the Super Eagles squad for the World Cup qualifiers games in November unless he suffers another set back in training, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr spoke with the Villarreal wing forward who confirmed to him that he is back to full fitness and will be available for selection in November.
Rohr is keen on having him back for the crucial games against Liberia and also the game against Cape Verde in Lagos. Two games which will go a long way in helping them cement their spot in next hear Africa Cup of Nations.
We gathered the coach will likely drop Bordeaux winger Samuel Kalu who hasn’t been in the best of form and has lost his national team spot to Chidera Ejuke. With Chukwueze returning he could be the odd man out.
Meanwhile the coach is already planning for the games in November without Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who isn’t expected to be fit for the games as latest report suggest he could be out for three more weeks.
