The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has succeeded in convincing Felix Agu to commit his international future to the Nigeria national team and he could be called up for the upcoming friendly game against Ukraine.
Rohr has been hit with one withdrawal already with Tyronne Ebuehi pulling out of the squad due to a relapse of the injury that saw him miss all of the games of Benfica last season leaving the door open for a replacement to be called up.
19 year old Agu who plays for German second division side VfL Osnabruck is for now the prime candidate to replace Ebuehi in the list but that can only be possible if he can get a Nigerian passport before the friendly game next month.
Agu has made four appearances this season with an assist to his name already in what is his second season in the first team of the club who were promoted to the second division last season with Agu making 15 appearances.
The aim is for him to progress like Jamilu Collins who also got his debut while playing in the second division in Germany and Agu is expected to provide cover at left and right back as he has played twice as right back and once as left back.
