Nigeria: Rohr Goes Tough On 'Vacation Players'

Gernot Rohr has said he will not pick players he
describes as "vacation players" who have failed
to fight for first-team places after two
invitations.
"Some players have been invited for two matches
but have yet to push for a place in the first team
and now we wish to invite fresh players to do
what they could not do," Rohr said.
"The time is gone when a player comes for two
matches, collects bonuses, allowances and ticket
refund and does not measure up.
"What we need now are players who can fight for
first-team shirts and so make the team more
competitive."
The likes of Israel-based midfielder Nosa Igiebor,
Kingsley Madu from Zulte-Waregem of Belgium,
Rangers goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel and Jamiu
Alimi from Kano Pillars will fall into this bracket
of "vacation players".
