Nigeria's Super Eagles defender William Troost Ekong has declared that playing against their former coach Gernot Rohr is no big deal, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Franco-German gaffer managed the Nigerian national team for 5 years before he was sacked in 2021. The Al-Khalood of Saudi Arabia star also confirmed their readiness for the game. " We’re ready for the game, playing against Gernot Rohr, a coach that knows us very well, was with us up to five years but we’ll be ready for the game", he said. Ekong is expected to lead the team against Benin on Saturday in Uyo.
