Afcon 2019: Rohr must bring in new players for Super Eagles - Nwosu

Henry Nwosu wants the Nigerian national team to be strengthened with a new crop of players after they ended in third place at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

The West Africans finished second behind Madagascar with six points in the group stage, beat Cameroon in the Round of 16 and South Africa in the quarter-final to reach the last four of the tournament.

Gernot Rohr’s men then lost to Algeria, in a game dominated by the Desert Foxes, before defeating Tunisia in Wednesday’s third/fourth-place play-off.
