Coach Rohr who says he need his ward to finish the job of qualifying for the World Cup when they meet Zambia on the 7th October in Uyo.
He has also hinted he will stick with the squad he worked with in the last two games.
Rohr however left the door open for Arsenal ace Alex Iwobi who missed the game through injury to return back to the squad, if he returns to full match fitness before the game next month.
