Rohr Says Abraham And Tomori Not Needed In Super Eagles by reportminds(op): 9:55am On Oct 05, 2019
Gernot Rohr has revealed why he does not need Chelsea duo of Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori are not currently part of his plans.

The 22-year-old striker has enjoyed a good season with Frank Lampard side so far, scoring seven goals in seven games, with only Sergio Aguero managing more in the Premier League.

Abraham represented England at youth level and has also made two appearances for Gareth Southgate’s senior side, starting against Germany and coming off the bench to face Brazil in friendlies in November 2017, but could still play for the three-time Africa Champions having never represented the Three Lions in any competitive fixture.

Tomori who born in Canada has 15 caps for the Three-Lions Under-21 team but has previously said he could play for Nigeria as he is eligible through his parents.

Southgate set to name squad for their England upcoming Euro qualifiers against Czech Republic and Bulgaria on October 11 and 14, respectively, and an appearance for either player would rule out the possibility of representing the three-time African champions.

Rohr told BBC Sport: "They are both interesting players, but we have made our immediate plans without Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori,"

"They are not interested in discussing their international options at the moment and we need to respect that."

"It is also significant to note that Abraham has been assured that he will be in the England squad," Rohr added.

"Tomori is a very good friend of our player Ola Aina (ex-Chelsea and England youth international) and he said he does not want to discuss this for now.

"We have to focus on what we have and not lose focus about what people say all the time."

Rohr’s Nigeria side faces Brazil in a high-profile friendly in Singapore on October 13 before facing Benin, Togo, and Lesotho in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Highest goal score in the premier league and Romero that kept Salah at bay is not important also?


Hope we all know the contribution of moses to our nations cup triumph

My thought exactly
Re: Rohr Says Abraham And Tomori Not Needed In Super Eagles by shupsy2012:
The painful thing is the lies and suspense they kept Nigeria

Tammy - i need 7 months to decide...but you accept England call up within a month.

Fikayo - i am opened to play for any of he three countries if I'm called up......when you know England is where your heart is.

They were disrespectful and tricky.

I guess they made there decisions to keep first team shirt in Chelsea and due to pressure from English coach Lampard.

Uncertainty also shows they are even unsure if their abilities could earn them england call ups,hope they don't get dropped soon just like Dele Ali has been dropped.

Honestly, we do not need them. We’ve got great players everywhere for every position. I’m impressed with Rohr’s work

You can take a horse to the river but you can’t force it to drink, that’s exactly what Rohr is saying. Tammy complained when the NFF revealed his intention to play for Nigeria before him but gladly sat back when the English FA did same thing, good luck to him.

From some early comments here, some people are just dense upstairs and lack logical reasoning.
