At the rate COVID19 is spreading, I doubt if the qualifiers will even go ahead.

In Europe, not so Africa.

This is quite straight forward:
RB
1. Ehizibue
2. Awaziem
3. Balogun, Ajayi or Omerou, if necessary

Dude is surplus to MF requirements and is certainly neither a left back or Centerback

Still maintain that Shehu is not relevant and is a wasted invite.

How about the teams with Euro based players, how many will take the risk especially in affected areas and come home to play in the qualifiers...

Shehu has played and excelled in spot duty for his clubsides at both Rightback and Centreback. Mind you, I don't want to see him playing either position against Sierra Leone, but in an emergency he is capable of stepping into the breach and giving us some minutes there. This is why I stress that it's important to have versatile players at the back end of your roster.

Now for the Sierra Leone game, there is ample time to call up replacements for Aina and Ekong if Rohr chooses to go in that direction.

Mystic,
The operative word you used here is ‘has’, which I agree with you with.
Fact is the guy is past tense and he is no longer in reckoning as a relevant player in either of the positions you mentioned.
Dude can’t even crack the first 3 options in those positions. Worst still, he is currently playing in the least competitive league of all the outfield players (Turkish div 2) on the team.
Like I said, he is no longer relevant to the team and needs to be discarded ASAP. There are far better players out there that we need to focus on!

Rohr would be forced to use Homemade.
