Coach Gernot Rohr has hinted about the possibility of drafting some home-based players from the cast that lost 4-0 to Mexico in an international friendly played in California at the weekend.

The German who attended the game in an advisory capacity to the home-based coaching crew led by Paul Aigbogun said he has identified some new players, adding that the lads did their best despite the loss to the North Americans.

“I saw a wonderful game and we were able to see real football with fans in the stadium because it has been such a long time that we’d been playing in an empty stadium and Mexico as number 11 team in the world showed their quality today,” Rohr explained.

“We have here some of our best players from home and they tried to do their best and they have learned today.

“I have seen some players that could be very interesting for our list for the World Cup qualifiers in September.”
