TOSIN ADARABIOYO, OTHERS RECONSIDERING PLAYING FOR NIGERIA AFTER OLA AINA’S SNUB
#MTNShortz3Sixtyworld
Versatile Chelsea fullback Ola Aina might have taken his omission from
Nigeria’s World Cup roster in the right way when he publicly wished
the Super Eagles all the best at the 2018 World Cup.
However, there are repercussions over that move made by manager Gernot
Rohr, with foreign-born talents of Nigerian descent based in England
vowing to turn down the opportunity of playing for the Super Eagles if
approached by the Nigerian Federation.
This website can exclusively report that the very talented Manchester
City trio Tom Dele-Bashiru, Lukas Nmecha and Tosin Adarabioyo, who
have all debuted for City’s first team, are no longer interested in
playing for Nigeria.
”Dele-Bashiru, Lukas Nmecha and Adarabioyo are the hottest young
players in England at the moment,” a top source close to the three
players told allnigeriasoccer.com.
”They are unhappy over the way Ola Aina was treated by Gernot Rohr
and the Nigerian Federation, and they don’t want to play for Nigeria
again as they could face the same fate.
”Apart from his debut against Argentina, Brian Idowu has not
impressed in all the games he has played for the Super Eagles and
Echiejile was not playing for his second division club in Belgium,
Aina should have made the 23-man squad.”
Aina became cap-tied for Nigeria when he replaced Elderson Echiejile
in the closing minutes of the Super Eagles 1-0 win over Zambia in Uyo
last October.
The former England U19 skipper has made four appearances for the Super Eagles.
