Innocent Bonke will get more chances with the senior national team of Nigeria after impressing coach of the team Gernot Rohr, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Rohr was pleased with the players commitment in training which earned him a spot on the bench in the first game against Liberia and subsequently a starting berth away to Cape Verde.
The ability of the Malmo of Sweden defensive midfielder in breaking up play and not pulling out of tackles won the heart of the coach who told members of his backroom staff of his excitement with the 25 year old.
A product of extensive scouting particularly after excelling for Malmo in the qualifiers for the UEFA Champions League group stage, Rohr sees him as an alternative to first choice defensive midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.
Experience wise he won’t be lost as well as he is expected to be an integral part of the campaign of his team in the UEFA Champions League starting from tomorrow when they host Juventus.
