Rohr calls up youngsters Tijani and Lawal for Nigeria friendly matches in October

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has confirmed the invitation of former Golden Eaglets captain Samson Tijani and goalkeeper Tobias Lawal for next month’s friendly games against Ivory Coast and Tunisia in Austria.

The two youngsters are based in the European country and Rohr is ready to have them train with his team next month.

Tijani, who captained Nigeria to the 2019 Fifa U17 World Cup in Brazil, is currently plying his trade in the Austrian Bundesliga with Hartberg, whom he joined on a season-long loan from RB Salzburg in August.
