Rohr Charges Super Eagles To Beat Cameroon For Carl Ikeme

Coach Gernot Rohr has charged the Super Eagles to beat Cameroon in crunch World Cup qualifiers in September as a befitting tribute to goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, who has been diagnosed of acute leukemia.

Nigeria host the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on September 1 in Uyo with the return leg in Yaounde four days later.

A top NFF official has said Rohr is using Ikeme’s health problem to fire up the Eagles against Cameroon.

“The technical adviser is turning it (Ikeme’s illness) to advantage to motivate the other players,” NFF second vice-president Shehu Dikko told reporters.
