The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has submitted a list of 4 players from which he will pick his final 28 man list for the 2021 Africa Cup Of Nations in Cameroon.
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic made the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to shift the tournament to next year with same host. Teams are expected to submit their final squad for the tournament on the 27th of December.
However teams are expected to submit a preliminary list of 40 players and Nigeria have already done that according to Rohr, he also confirmed that the duo of ex England youth international in Ovie Ejaria a and Ademola Lookman made the list.
Both players represented England at several youth levels and even won the 2017 Under-20 World Cup but they have both decided to switch allegiance to Nigeria at senior level with FIFA approving their switch.
In an interview on Elegbete TV, Rohr confirmed that the duo are in his 40 man list for the Africa Cup of Nations, where he has set a target of at least a semi final spot for his team.
