Super Eagles Head Coach, Gernot Rohr is expected to meet Captain Mikel John Obi in London next week before a final decision is made on his selection for next month’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
Despite not featuring in any of the Eagles’ qualification matches prior to the tournament, Rohr maintains that Mikel remains a vital part of his team and will wait for him to make a final decision on his international career.
Rohr’s visit to the midfielder will quash speculations of a rift between the pair with Mikel also stating in the past that he remains committed to the national team.
In another development, Super Falcons Head Coach, Thomas Dennerby has named Desire Oparanozie as the captain of the women national team.
Oparanozie took over from midfielder Rita Chikwelu who has been piloting the team for quite some time now before the team official announcement on Thursday. She made her debut for Super Falcons in 2010 and she has ranked up over 30 caps for the country with twenty two goals.
