Former Nigeria international Ifeanyi Udeze says Gernot Rohr will be responsible should anything in the World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde.
Rohr has been criticised by section of media for recalling Odion Ighalo, three years after his retirement from international football.
While the 32-year-old Al Shabab striker was handed a place in the World Cup qualifiers squad, Bundesliga star, Taiwo Awoniyi was omitted, despite his impressive form for Union Berlin this season.
Reacting to the list, and comments from Nigerians, Udeze said Rohr’s will be accountable for result, and advised the fans to respect his choice of players.
“Let’s respect Gernot Rohr’s list, he’s in charge and has been given a job to do.
“However, If anything goes wrong Rohr will be held responsible. But for now the list must be respected.”
The Super Eagles will tackle the Lone Star of Liberia at the Grand Stade Tangier in Morocco on Saturday, 13th November and then fly into Lagos for the final group game against Cape Verde’s Blue Sharks at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Tuesday, 16th November.
The invited players and overseas-based members of the technical crew are to report directly to the city of Tangier on Monday, 8th November while technical officials from Nigeria are to report in Tangier the same day.
