Super Eagles technical adviser, Gernot Rohr, has said that Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama will return to the national team if Nigeria qualifies for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Rohr who fielded questions from journalists said that he called Enyeama and convinced him to return from retirement to the Super Eagles.
When asked if the Super Eagles still need Enyeama owing to the goal performance of Carl, he said, “Yes, I said it that I wanted Vincent Enyeama to return from retirement and I called him and we spoke with him. He will come back if we qualify for the World Cup.”
“We need very good goalkeepers in the Eagles. We have two local goalkeepers whom I don’t know if they will fit in if Carl sustains an injury, so I think we need two big goalkeepers. Of course for this moment, Carl is number one. We cannot change him, he will be number one for the next game,” Rohr said.
Recall that the former Super Eagles Goalkeeper had announced his retirement from Nigeria’s senior football team in October last year.
Enyeama who took to his Instagram page, ‘vinny 2908’, had said that he had served Nigeria his best while in the pitch and decided to retire from active play with Eagles to focus on his club career.
