Rohr: Why Nigeria's Uzoho and Olayinka missed Cameroon friendly
The Super Eagles handler has explained why the duo played no role in Tuesday’s friendly against the five-time African kings
Injury worries forced Francis Uzoho and Peter Olayinka out of Tuesday’s international friendly with Cameroon, coach Nigeria Gernot Rohr has revealed.
On Monday evening, the Super Eagles handler had told the media that the Apoel FC star would man the goalpost instead of Sparta Rotterdam’s Maduka Okoye.
“Observations are positive because some of the players who arrived from Nigeria were not so fit for the first game. They have now recovered well, and we should be better physically,” Rohr had said.
