Players like Super Eagles Captain Ahmed Musa, Ola Aina, Oghenekaro Etebo and Samuel Kalu missed the 1-1 against Brazil at the Singapore National Stadium in Kallang, due to injuries.
And feelers from the Nigeria Football Federation indicated that the four players will be available for selection against Benin and Lesotho as the Super Eagles aim to kick-start their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on winning notes.
Rohr has now admitted that he is facing selection problem should these trusted player return to full fitness ahead of the AFCON qualifiers.
“If Musa can come back, if Ola Aina can come back and if Etebo too can come back, so we would see what can happen with the top players for these must win games,” Rohr added.
Nigeria will take on the Squirrels of Benin Republic at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City early November before travelling to Maseru days later to face Lesotho.
