Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr
has indicated that he will likely give fringe players the chance to prove
themselves in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Seychelles on March
22.
Nigeria have already booked their place in the tournament to be
hosted by Egypt in June, making the home game against Seychelles a formality.
"We have already qualified for the tournament and so we
will give some other players a chance.
"The players who have not had the chance to express
themselves and we will have the opportunity to see what they can do." Rohr said.
"The match against Seychelles will not be easy because
everybody believes it will be won easily. That is dangerous and it’s a trap
sometimes."
One player Rohr will be looking out for is Tyronne
Ebuehi who is making rapid recovery from an ankle injury.
"It is a moment to monitor our players to see
if they are fit and of course have some news also from our injured players.
"Like Tyron, who is training again".
Super Eagles have already qualified for this
summer AFCON but Nigeria welcomes Seychelles in the last group game before
taking on Egypt in an international friendly match in March.
