Cameroon 2019 :Rohr plots Seychelles fall

The Super Eagles opened the Cameroon 2019 qualifying tournament with a    shock 2-0 defeat by South Africa in Uyo last year.

And the Eagles will  look to beat Seychelles to revive their hopes of reaching Cameroon.

Our correspondent learnt that Rohr could give new Bordeaux forward Samuel Kalu, Roma loanee Ola Aina, Galatasaray loanee Henry Onyekuru  and Hibernian star Efe Ambrose an opportunity to stake claim for places in the national team by inviting them for the Victoria clash.

Rohr is said to be spending  sleepless nights  thinking about a replacement after 27-year-old  Chelsea  wingback Victor Moses’ shock retirement from international football last week.

It was learnt that the 65-year-old   German manager, who has Levante new boy Moses Simon  and  Saudi Arabia-based Ahmed Musa as other natural wingers in  his team, is considering Kalu  to replace Moses.

With new Benfica right-back Tyronne Ebuehi out with a long-term injury, Aina, who failed to make the Russia 2018 World Cup squad, is said to be favourite to be invited alongside Russian-born Bryan Idowu  for the Seychelles encounter.

Meanwhile, Rohr  inspected the  Ahmadu Bello Stadium in  Kaduna  on Wednesday  ahead of the  country’s Cameroon 2019 qualifying  clash against Libya in October.
