2022 World Cup Qualifiers: Rohr Speaks On Sadiq, Simy Chances In The Super Eagles

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has disclosed that he would give Almeria forward, Sadiq Umar the chance to prove his worth in the senior national team.
Rohr in an interview with Elegbete TV Sports, stated that he’s impressed with the quality of strikers at his disposal but would be more delighted to see Sadiq’s quality.
Recall that Sadiq was invited for the just concluded 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Benin and Lesotho, but due to the Covid-19 travel restriction by some European countries, the Nigerian international was not allowed to honour the invitation.
However, the German tactician, who also rates Crotone star, Simy Nwankwo high, said that both players will be given equal chances in the Super Eagles.
“Sadiq deserves also a chance – one of the best center forwards in Spain actually.
“Simy I know him very well, and so I didn’t have to invite him again to know how he is.
“The last matches were the last opportunity also for me to see some new players because now we go to the World Cup and now will be too late to make experimentation.
“I know already Simy very well; he is a very good player.”
