Rohr meets Wenger, Emenalo to ‘seek release of players’
Gernot Rohr, technical adviser of the Super Eagles, met with Arsene Wenger, manager of Arsenal, Michael Emenalo, and technical director of Chelsea FC recently.
Rohr’s visit is believed to be for the release of the Nigerian players like Mikel Obi, Alex Iwobi and Victor Moses for the forthcoming 2018 World Cup qualifier against Algeria on November 12.
Rohr, who has won his first two games in charge of the three-time African champions, is hoping to secure a third win when they host the Fennecs of Algeria next month.
The Nigeria Football Federation confirmed the visits on Twitter.
