Crotone star Simy Nwankwo 'not bothered' by Super Eagles snub

Crotone striker Simy Nwankwo said he ‘does not lose sleep’ over his omission from Gernot Rohr’s Super Eagles set-up.

The 28-year-old is yet to be summoned to the Nigeria national team since their outing at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia where he played two matches.

Simy has been in fine goalscoring form in the Serie A this season with 19 goals in 33 appearances but Rohr does not see him in his plans and the striker, in turn, said he is worried by the German coach’s decision.
