Nigeria’s Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr replaced injured duo of Victor Moses and Isaac Success with NPFL stars Godwin Obaje and Chisom Egbuchulam for the Super Eagles’ crunch encounter with Zambia in Ndola on Sunday.
This move is sequel to the NFF’s receipt of letters from English Premiership clubs Chelsea and Watford that forwards are injured.

The Nigeria Football Federation received letters over the weekend saying Moses has hamstring trouble (adduced as reason for his being substituted in Chelsea’s match against Hull City) and that Success, who scored for Watford in their 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth on Saturday, has a knock and finding it difficult to walk.
Obaje, on the books of Wikki Tourists of Bauchi, finished the just –ended Nigeria Professional Football League season as top scorer with 18 goals, and his goals steered the Bauchi darling team to a third place finish that has earned it a slot in next year’s CAF Confederation Cup competition.
Enugu Rangers’ skillful forward Egbuchulam finished just behind Obaje with 15 goals, including a hat-trick as the Flying Antelopes concluded a triumphant season with a 4-0 home win over El-Kanemi Warriors on Sunday, lifting the League diadem for the first time in 32 years
