Rohr: Kano Pillars’ Junior Lokosa will get Super Eagles chance
The leading scorer in the NPFL, Junior Lokosa, will be given his chance to stake a claim for a place at the World Cup, according to Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr.
The 25-year-old Lokosa has scored 16 goals for Kano Pillars halfway through the domestic league season.
“We will have a look at him (Lokosa),” Rohr revealed.
“He has been scoring goals.
“He has been observed by Salisu (Yusuf) (Eagles chief coach).”
Lokosa is most likely to be involved when a locally-based national team take on Spanish La Liga, Atletico Madrid, on May 22 in Uyo.
Enyimba goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa is the only home-based player who has been fully involved with the Super Eagles leading up to Russia 2018.
He is expected to be listed on a provisional squad to be announced on May 14.
