Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has been handed a defensive boost ahead of the AFCON 2021 qualifying match against Lesotho, after Center Half Kenneth Omeruo was passed fit for the clash by the team doctor.
Omeruo was an injury doubt, after he picked up a knock during training before the game against Benin Republic, and he was dropped to the bench – an unused substitute in the 2-1 win.
The Super Eagles arrived Maseru on Saturday with all 23 players invited by the Coach and team doctor, Ibrahim Gyaran gave an update on the players’ match fitness.
Although it is uncertain if the CB will be selected for Sunday’s game, Gyaran as quoted by told thenff.com confirmed, “that there are no injuries within the 23 –man playing body.”
Nigeria tops Group L with maximum points after matchday one and can go three points clear if they pick a win in Maseru.
