You’re Still In My Plans – Rohr Tells Dutch-Nigerian Defender Tyronne Ebuehi Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has assured ADO Den Haag defender Tyronne Ebuehi that he is still part of his plans despite placing him on standby in the list of players released for the clash against Zambia. Ebuehi was placed on standby by Rohr, same coach who convinced him to pursue an international career with Nigeria despite his eligibility to represent the Netherlands. However the 21 year old has been unable to dislodge Shehu Abdullahi as the first choice right full back of the team, and Ola Aina switch of allegiance from England to Nigeria sent Ebuehi further down the pecking order. Yet to be capped by Nigeria, Rohr told the full back he won’t be in the squad for the game against Zambia before the list was made public, and also explained to him that he is still part of his plans. Rohr explained to him that he has a very bright future with Nigeria, but for the game against Zambia he won’t be considered due to tactical reasons not made known to this portal. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/27/youre-still-in-my-plans-rohr-tells-dutch-nigerian-defender-tyronne-ebuehi/ |

Nigerian Players P-Index Henry Onyekuru (RSC Anderlecht): Played all 90mins as his side fell 3-0 at home to Celtic of Scotland. Recall that Celtic also came for Onyekuru in the last transfer window but he eventually turned down Celtic, chose Everton and joined Anderlecht. Well, Henry had a passing accuracy of 68% and completed 3 dribbles. He also won one aerial duel and considering he stands at 1.75m that is interesting... lol WhoScored match rating is 6.2 (actually 6.17). |

Opponents watch Zambia Coach Goes Spiritual Ahead Clash With Super Eagles In Uyo Coach of the senior national team of Zambia Wedson Nyirenda has admitted that his team need more than good tactics, if they want to beat Nigeria in their World Cup 2018 Qualifiers in Uyo. Zambia need a win to keep the group open ahead of the final round of games, while Nigeria need a win to progress to the tournament with a game to spare after picking up 10 points from a possible 12. Nyirenda believes his players need mental drilling to be at par with the Super Eagles, and that is one area he is focusing on ahead of the clash which will take place on the 7th of October. He also went religious while insisting that his wards know it is their time to qualify for the World Cup as God has taken them far for them to help themselves. “The game will be highly psychological, therefore we are working on their mental strength before the match,” the coach said on his official twitter handle. “Every player and everyone on our bench know and believe that this time is our time. God can only show you the fish and it is up to you to fish it out.” **Shedrack Obi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/27/zambia-coach-goes-spiritual-ahead-clash-with-super-eagles-in-uyo/ |

Aaron Samuel Loses First Team Status At CSKA Moscow CSKA Moscow Nigerian forward Aaron Samuel has lost his place in the matchday squad of the Russian side after failing to impress since joining the team permanently in the summer. The 23 year old has scored just once in nine matches this season in all competitions, with the goal coming in the 2-1 win over Tosno in the league on the 9th of August. Samuel who had his loan spell cut short by injury after joining the team in the summer of 2016 has been anything but brilliant for the team, a form which has lead to his axing from the first team. The decision to axe him from the matchday squad of the club was taken after the forward failed to deliver against second division side Avangard Kursk, a game they lost 1-0 to crash out of the Russian Cup. Against Avargand Kursk he was rated as one of the worst players on display for the club, and it appears the game has now cost him is placement in the team, with the forward no where near the line up for the 1-4 loss to Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League. **Michael James Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/27/cska-moscow-nigerian-forward-aaron-samuel-has-lost-his-place-in-the-matchday-squad-of-the-russian-side-after-failing-to-impress-since-joining-the-team-permanently-in-the-summer-the-23-year-old-has-s/ |

Agali Confident Rohr Will Lead Super Eagles To 2018 World Cup By Bamidele Boluwaji Former Super Eagles striker Victor Agali says he is impressed with coach Gernot Rohr’s commitment to the 2018 FIFA World Cup ticket, saying the players invited for the October 7 qualifier against the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Uyo are good enough to earn Nigeria the maximum points in the match, Completesportsnigeria.com reports Agali, who formed a devastating strike partnership with Nwankwo Kanu in the qualifiers for the 2002 World Cup, urged the players to approach the match with the same spirit with which they defeated the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in Uyo early in the month. “I must say I am impressed with the commitment of coach Rohr to the World Cup ticket and I am not surprised because I know the type of coach he is and the plans he has for Nigeria,” Agali who coaches a Lagos based National League side, FC Racine, told Completesportsnigeria.com. “All the players invited are good enough for the match and we all know them and the talent each of them has. “The players have a lot to offer if Nigeria must beat Zambia to qualify for the World Cup and that has to do with a winning spirit and determination to win. It’s a crucial match for Nigeria and they must approach it with all seriousness. “I expect nothing short of victory against Zambia.” Nigeria top African qualifying Group B with 10 points after victories over Algeria, Zambia and Cameroun (in Uyo and a draw in Yaoundé), while Zambia are three points behind in second place.

FIFA 2018 WCQ: Eagles’ll suppress Zambia’s new spirit, says Mikel Mikel Super Eagles’ Captain, John Obi Mikel believes Zambia’s new found spirit in their FIFA 2018 World Cup qualification campaign will be suppressed when they face the Super Eagles in a group B tie October 7 in Uyo. Mikel, though acknowledged that the Zambians will not be push overs, submitted that the Eagles have the commitment and the professionalism to get the job done. “I must admit that I applaud the resurgence of the Zambians this late in the qualifiers. Beating Algeria home and away is no mean feat. We will take them very serious on October 7 because they clearly have a new spirit. It is time we wrap this up. “We have all shown professionalism, dedication and determination to be at the pole position in a group tagged ‘Group of Death.’ “Commendations must go to the entire team and the Coach, but we must finish it up in Uyo and secure our ticket right there,” he said. Also speaking, Super Eagles keeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa submitted that it was too late for the Chipolopolo to find their rhythm. “I think it’s too late for Zambia to start dreaming for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification ticket. The qualification race commenced at the same time for everyone and here we are at the summit of the group. “It will be most unfair for Zambia or any other person to think that we will allow the golden opportunity to slip off our hands,” he stressed.

Just a little outside the Super Eagles but linked thru indirect routes Will be dropping an article that explains The format of the newly formed UEFA Nations league soon. I find it quite fascinating and a beautiful model to increase the level of competitiveness among nations of a continent. Africa can emulate this but not detail for detail.... but we can come up with a similar concept nonetheless. Will be done later today as I got a long day ahead of me. Will be so very occupied. Europe is about to get even more competitive among themselves. Africa need to step up and Nigeria must lead the charge to step up so that we can keep up with the challenge of taking on the world best on a very high competitive level internationally. Making the Afcon a 24-team tournament and now fixed for the summer is a good start but we need more competitiveness added to our international calendar in line with FIFA's yearly calendar of matches and activities. CAF, NFF and the rest of African FAs/Federations gotta look deep into this. |

According to a release signed by the leadership of the South-South zone led by Christopher Green, the zone said the appointment of the veteran medical doctor into the prestigious medical committee goes to confirm the contributions of Dr. Singabele to the medical profession not only in Nigeria but the African continent. While thanking the leadership of the NFF for recommending Dr. Singabele, they called on him not to let the zone down any time he is called upon to work for the continental body so as to pave way for others to also climb into such committees in the future. The South -South zone has promised to give Dr. Singabele all the assistance he would need in being a credible and great ambassador of the zone. Reacting to the appointment, Dr. Singabele who was a one time executive committee member of the NFF expressed joy at being found worthy to serve, promising not to let Nigeria and the NFF down. Though admitting that the job is challenging, the one time head of service in Bayelsa State said he will work with other members of the committee to achieve success. He specifically thanked the NFF president Amaju Pinnick for deeming him fit to serve. The 10 member medical committee of CAF has as its president Adoum Djibrine from Chad, while Algeria’s Yacine Zenguini is the vice president.

UEL Wrap: Nwakaeme Strikes, Eze Assists, Gero Earns Penalty, Alhassan Debuts How players of Nigerian descent fared on game week two in the Europa League on Thursday night. As previously reported, Super Eagles hopeful Chuba Akpom was a non-playing substitute as Arsenal recorded a 4-2 win at BATE. Alex Iwobi, Aaron Eyoma and Tolaji Bola were not in the Gunners traveling party to Belarus. At the Doosan Aréna (Plzeň), Super Eagles midfielder John Ogu put in a full shift for Hapoel Beer Sheva against Viktoria Plzeň. Anthony Nwakaeme wrote his name on the score-sheet for the Israeli champs in the 69th minute, six minutes after coming off the bench. 3-1 to the Czech club. Swedish Cinderella team östersunds FK have done it again, this time beating Jordan Torunarigha 's Hertha BSC 1-0 at Jämtkraft Arena. Former Flying Eagles striker Alhaji Gero earned a penalty for his side when he was fouled by Torunarigha in the 21st minute . The two players logged ninety minutes each. Patrick Eze started Konyaspor's tie against Vitória Guimarães at Konya Büyükşehir Belediye Stadyumu (Konya), and was credited with an assist for the opening goal scored by the Turkish club in the 24th minute.

Official: Okocha Voted Best Bolton Wanderers Player Of Last 20 Years Super Eagles legend Austin Okocha has been voted the best Bolton Wanderers player from the past twenty years in a poll conducted by the official website of the Trotters. Bolton Wanderers pulled off a transfer coup when the attacking midfielder joined the club on a free transfer after the 2002 Fifa World Cup, and he captured the hearts of not only the Bolton faithful, but football fans across the country for his silky skills. Okocha appeared in 145 matches for Bolton and was instrumental in the club reaching the final of the 2004 League Cup after scoring two free kick goals in the first leg of the semifinal against Aston Villa. In his second season with Bolton, the 1998 World Cup star was appointed captain of the club following the retirement of Guðni Bergsson. Okocha was chosen ahead of Kevin Davies, World Cup winner Youri Djorkaeff, goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen and ex-Real Madrid star Ivan Campo in that order.

Mikel was voted the Man of The Match (MOTM) for his Chinese side Tianjin Teda in their 3-1 win over Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng, which helped them move out of the basement of the League table in the Chinese Super League. Although he didn’t get on the score sheet, he was very lively and set up the third goal which helped his team kill off the tie after Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng have pulled a goal back. His performance in the game led to many fans of the club attributing their poor season to his absence after injury ruled him out for three months, few games into the start of the Chinese season. The Chinese league won’t have weekend games, this is so done to allow players called up by their national team to honour the call, and travel on time due to the miles involve in travelling from China. **Osas Mahawi Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/29/mikel-heads-to-nigeria-for-zambia-tie-with-motm-award-in-tianjin-teda-big-win/ |

Official – Nigerian Right Back Nura Abdullahi Signs Contract Extension With Roma Highly rated Nigerian full back Nura Abdullahi has extended his contract with Italian Serie A side Roma till the summer of 2021, the club has announced in a statement on their official website. Nura’s current deal was set to run out in a year time, but the 20 year old who is a product of the youth team of the club, following his move from Serie B side Spezia two years ago put pen to paper on a fresh four year deal. Although he is yet to make a single appearance for the first team no thanks to injury and fitness issues, the Football Academy Abuja graduate is widely rated as one of the best teen prospect at the club. His contract extension was announced alongside that of three other graduates of the club academy, which brings to four the number of academy graduates who have extended their deal at the club.. Quick, strong in tackles and a good crosser of the ball, he was once upon a time on the radar of Spanish League giants Barcelona, but a minor heart defect lead to the breakdown of a possible transfer to the club. **Daniel Martins Source: http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/09/29/official-nigerian-right-back-nura-abdullahi-signs-contract-extension-with-roma/ |

VICTOR MOSES BIGGER WORRY FOR GERNOT ROHR THAN ALEX IWOBI by Goal team According to Goal readers, the Nigeria coach should be more concerned about the Chelsea man’s fortunes this term There have been reasons for concern for both Victor Moses and Alex Iwobi so far this term, but according to Goal readers, it’s the Chelsea man who should be giving Gernot Rohr more sleepless nights. Moses was one of the Super Eagles’ star men during the recent international break as Nigeria took a giant step towards next summer’s World Cup after taking four points from Cameroon. However, Antonio Conte’s decision to sign Davide Zappacosta—who scored a wondergoal on his Champions League debut against Qarabag—introduces considerable competition for Moses in the Blues squad. Even though Moses has made five Premier League starts this season—while Zappacosta has played for just 16 minutes—56 percent of those who responded to a recent Goal poll believe that the Stamford Bridge star should be a greater concern for Rohr than Iwobi. Certainly, after Moses was handed the reins for Chelsea in Wednesday evening’s victory at Atletico Madrid, it will be interesting to see whether he remains in the team for the visit of Manchester City in the EPL on Saturday. By contrast to Moses—who was a league champion with the Pensioners last term—Iwobi has struggled to establish himself at Arsenal after losing his spot in Arsene Wenger’s first XI. The non-departure of Alexis Sanchez has denied Iwobi a ready route back into the starting eleven, but the wideman’s peril appears to be of less concern to Nigeria fans, with only 44 percent revealing that Rohr should be more concerned about the Arsenal star than his Chelsea rival. The 21-year-old has made just one league start and one further substitute appearance this term—playing a total of 91 minutes—although after starting in the Gunners’ Europa League opener against FC Cologne, it will be interesting to see whether he gets the not for Arsenal at BATE Borisov on Thursday evening. Iwobi has also made his recall to the Nigeria squad after missing the double-header against Cameroon, and will be in contention to displace Moses Simon when the Super Eagles meet Zambia in Uyo on October 7.
