“The best moment is when you are a player and they have to enjoy this moment. Play as long as possible, I tell them we have Obi Mikel here with us.“Even if he is not starting the game, he is doing a good job as a captain, he’s a guide for the young players.“Some of you believed, in Nigeria especially, that Obi Mikel coming back and not starting the games, we will have a problem.“There is no problem and we have two captains, Mikel and Ahmed Musa, who is also a very important African player,'' Rohr told reporters in Egypt.
There have been reports that Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo and defender Chidozie Awaziem may not be fit for Nigeria's next AFCON 2019 game against Algeria due to the knocks they suffered against South Africa.
Nigeria however, has lost their last game to Algeria. A game they lost 2:1 after a late equalizer from a penalty by Ighalo that gave us hope which was destroyed by an extra time goal.
