Musa Mohammed, Blessing Eleke and Stephen Eze were reportedly called up to fill the void left by the absence of the trio, but an impeccable camp source revealed to CSN that the coach is confident in the players in camp despite the absence of the three players.

Mohammed, Eleke and Eze were named as standby players by Rohr for the game.

“No replacements will be called up as the timing is pretty too short, and besides those positions are well covered with the players in camp who could play in more than one role comfortably,” the source revealed.
