18 year old Samson Tijani was sent for an early shower with 18 minutes left to play in his team 0-2 loss to Wolfsberger AC in a top flight league game in Austria.
The captain of the 2019 Nigeria U17 team was sent off after picking up two bookings in the 55th and 72nd minute of what was his second league game as a professional footballer.
Already he has been invited to the senior national team of Nigeria for their friendly games in October against Tunisia and later Côte d’Ivoire as first reported by this portal. The games will be played on the 9th and 13th of October respectively.
Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr sees the midfielder who is on loan to Hartberg from Red Bull Salzburg as a part of the team in the nearest future. His invitation is the first step towards introducing him into the set up of the team with the long term goal of having him in the plan for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
