Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is currently in his home country Germany as he aims to add fresh legs to his squad ahead of the Russia 2018 world cup which is just few months away.

Rohr aims to identify Nigerian talents playing in the Bundesliga to boost his squad after the Eagles qualified for their sixth World Cup, finishing top and unbeaten in a group that had African champions Cameroon, Zambia and Algeria.

Rohr, who guided Nigeria to a shock 4-2 victory over football superpowers Argentina in a friendly encounter in Krasnodar, Russia, on November 14, has since said the players who did not play any part during the qualifiers will get their opportunities to break into the World Cup squad.

Punch reported that the 64-year-old has been encouraged to revive his interest in the players he had pencilled in for the World Cup qualifiers but could not get them – after succeeding in convincing Russian-born Brian Idowu to switch his international allegiance to Nigeria after a long battle.

Reports in the German media on Monday said Rohr watched the Bundesliga clash between Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt at Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena in which German-born Nigerian centre-back Kevin Akpoguma played the 90 minutes for the home side (Hoffenheim).
