2022 WCQ: Gernot Rohr Receives Major Boost Ahead Of November Qualifiers

2022 WCQ: Gernot Rohr Receives Major Boost Ahead Of November Qualifiers By Omolagba Oluwayemi Thirteen days after playing his last game in the Turkish Super Lig for Alanyaspor, Chidozie Awaziem returned to the substitute bench of his side on Sunday against Goztepe, BSNSports.com.ng reports. Although the Boavista loanee was an unused substitute, it is believed his injury problems are behind him following his inclusion in the squad. His return now serves as a major boost for Gernot Rohr who is expected to name his roster for the upcoming 2022 World Cup qualifying matches against Liberia and Cape Verde this week. The last time Awaziem played for Alanyaspor was against Kayserispor on October 18 before he received the green light from the medical team to resume full training. The former Porto youth teamer is currently fourth choice in Rohr's pecking order of center backs, behind William Troost-Ekong, Leon Balogun and Kenneth Omeruo. The Franco-German has received more positive news on the injury front ahead of his squad announcement, with Wilfred Ndidi back in full training, Kevin Akpoguma back in action after a knock, and Victor Osimhen's injury not as serious as we were initially led to believe.
