Obuh: Osimhen, Aina withdrawals from Cameroon friendly will give Rohr opportunity to try new players

Eight of Super Eagles stars have pulled out from the game and ex-Nigeria youth coach feels the German tactician can take positivity from the situation

John Obuh believes Victor Osimhen and other players that withdrew from Nigeria international friendly against Cameroon will give manager Gernot Rohr an opportunity to try new players in their positions.

The Napoli forward pulled out due to injury, so did Nantes’ Moses Simon, Crotone’s Simy Nwankwo, Porto’s Zaidu Sanusi, West Bromwich Albion’s Semi Ajayi, Fulham’s Ola Aina, Benfica’s Tyronne Ebuehi and Hoffenheim’s Kevin Akpoguma.

The Super Eagles will slug it out against the Indomitable Lions in a double-header with the first fixture expected to take place on Friday while the second outing is scheduled for June 8.
