Rohr Keeps To His Promise : Amkar Perm Defender Brian Idowu Receives Nigeria Call-Up
http://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=26752

Amkar Perm star Brian 'Abuja' Idowu is set to add to his solitary international cap for Nigeria's national team, with manager Gernot Rohr inviting him for the upcoming Pre-World Cup friendlies against Poland and Serbia.

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands Idowu is the only Amkar Perm player in contact with the Nigerian Federation, meaning Aaron Samuel and Fegor Ogude are set to be omitted from the list of invitees.

Idowu was part of Nigeria's 23-man squad for the friendly against Argentina on November 14, coming on at half-time as replacement for left-back Ola Aina.

The Saint Petersburg-born defender scored eight minutes into his debut to give Nigeria a crucial 3-2 lead against the two-time world champions.

The 25-year-old has played as a central defender, left back, left midfielder, right midfielder and right back for Amkar Perm in the Russian Premier League.

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr earlier stated that Idowu will be part of his World Cup squad and will act as the Super Eagles interpreter as he speaks Russian language.

John Ogu, Chidozie Awaziem, Oghenekaro Etebo and Daniel Akpeyi are confirmed to be named to the roster that will be announced in the coming days.

They can't wait, they want to be the 'first news stand' which revealed the information and so, are better than the others. I will do the same if in their position.

Me I can’t lie I like him from his playing 4 the under 20 when he proved to a much better defender than the much loved Efe Ambrose ( got SS fired). Majority are follow follow ..... they just follow the contributing editor who is now suggesting Joel Obi man the left back position despite the fact it’s not his position and several people agreeing follow follow no matter stupid the idea.
