The games which will be played in Austria will afford the coaches the chance to try out new players ahead of their competitive games in October. Coach is the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr is open to calling up new players.
In the wake of doubts surrounding the availability of players like Leon Balogun, Joe Aribo, Kenneth Omeruo and Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee the coach has been forced to adjust his list, Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered.
The possible absence of the above mentioned players could see the coach call up players who were not originally in the list but in the long term plans of the coach particularly for future games.

All we are waiting for is to know if they will be able to make it or not. By this week we should know better”, a source close to the coach told owngoalnigeria.com.
