The Nigerian Super Eagles head coach  Gernot Rohr will be dropping  the Nigerian Super Eagles Captain Mikel Obi and Odion 
Ighalo in their coming match against Algeria on November 11, 2017.

According to Gernot Rohr "Honestly, it is going to be a dicey one because it is important for us to finish the qualifiers without losing a match.
However, we will want to marry the two situations of not losing the game and also giving an opportunity to some other new players to showcase their skills".

“Also remember that before then, some players might be fit while others may not.
Those coming from China have a long journey to make and when their league resumes on November 4, they will not have the extra two weeks like they had when we played Cameroon,” he said.

It should be noted that Nigeria has already qualify for the FIFA2018 world cup while the match against Algeria will be the last match for them in their group.
