The Super Eagles’ manager, Gernot Rohr, has released his 30-man provisional list on Monday for the Russia 2018 World Cup. The list includes two surprises – Junior Lokosa, who has so far scored 18 goals in the Nigeria Professional Football League, and Simeon Nwankwo, who scored five goals for Italian Serie A side, Crotone, in April.

There have been continuous calls that the 35-year-old be invited as he seemed the most viable option between the sticks but the counter argument has been that the Eagles should not repeat the Peter Rufai mistake of 1998. Rohr has often stated that he is more interested in building for the future than retracing his steps and on the issue of goalkeeping; he said he would not take an old goalkeeper to Russia to sit on the bench. The 30-man list includes: Goalkeepers [4] : Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Dele Ajiboye, Daniel Akpeyi, Francis Uzoho Defenders [10] :...
