Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifier: Rohr Explains Kalu Omission

Qatar 2022 World Cup Qualifier: Rohr Explains Kalu Omission Sampson Adedeji Head Coach of Nigeria's Super Eagles, Gernot Rohr has explained the reason Girondin Bordeaux winger, Samuel Kalu was dropped from the list of invited players, BSNsports.com.ng can report. The Franco-German tactician released the list of invited players for the matchday 5&6 of the qualifiers earlier in the week and the name of Kalu was conspicuously missing from the list. According to the report from France Bleu, the flying winger asked the gaffer to excuse him from the team at least for now so he can regain his position in the first team of Bordeaux. "I spoke to Samuel Kalu, he asked me not to be part of the selection, he wants to focus on the club, he gave me a good speech. He told me that the time is now so that he will give everything to fight to regain his starting place at the Girondin. I find that rather positive," he said. Super Eagles without Kalu will face Liberia in Tangier Morocco and Cape Verde at the Teslim Balogun Stadium next week.
