There are always questions asked in the aftermath of every Nigeria squad announcement, and it was no different after Gernot Rohr named 23 players for the upcoming double-header with Libya.
Laden with five center-backs and four full-backs, Rohr’s decision to invite nine defenders in total raised eyebrows in some quarters.
The CBs include: Leon Balogun, William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo, Chidozie Awaziem and Semi Ajayi, while the full-backs are: Brian Idowu, Abdullahi Shehu, Ola Aina and Jamilu Collins.
