5 big super eagle players who were left out from Gernot Rohr's 30 man provisional squad

The FIFA World Cup is just a month away from today May 14 and we are 'certain' football lovers all over
the world have started their countdown to the world's greatest sporting event.
As part of FIFA's requirement, all participating countries are mandated to submit a provisional 30 man squad list,
which Nigeria as expected have responded to by releasing their own provisional list.
As expected with every provisional list, they will be some outcry by fans over some of their favourite players
that did not make the list - sadly, it is a 30 man list and cannot the favourite players of all fans.
Today at NAIJ.com we will be taking a look at five Nigerian big players that were omitted from the provisional
30 man World Cup squad list.

1. Henry Onyekuru:

   The Everton striker who is currently on loan to Belgian side Anderlecht is almost a guarantee to make the World
   Cup team for the Super Eagles but rather than making the provisional squad list, Onyekuru made our list for
   World Cup absentees.
   The 20-year-old suffered a devastating injury against former club Eupen on December 22 and scan revealed he
   will be out for six month.
   Onyekuru may be back in action as he has resumed full training, but that definitly was not enough to please
   Gernot Rohr.
2. Obafemi Martins:

   There was huge belief that Obafemi Martins will be included in the Super Eagles World Cup squad considering
   his experience but a gory injury suffered in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday, April 3 against Kashima
   Antlers - ruled out Obagoal from this year's World Cup.

   Enyeama has been the number one shot-stopper for the Super Eagles for long before his feud with former coach
   Sunday Oliseh, that made him embark on self exile. They were calls for him to rejoin the Eagles especially after
   Oliseh resigned from his position.
   But incessant injuries have troubled the Lille goalie and it came as little surprise that he is not on the 30 man
   provisional squad list for the Eagles.
4. Brown Ideye:

   Ideye is not a new name as long as the Super Eagles is concern, but what is actually news is the fact that he did
   not make Rohr's 30 man provisional list , even when he ply his trade for Spanish La Liga side Malaga.

   Ajayi who ply his trade for Egyptian side Al Ahly was touted to at least make the provisional list for the World
   Cup after he was invited to the friendly tie against Poland and Serbia .Sadly the young lad will have to look into
   future World Cup as he still have age on his side.
   NAIJ.com previously reported that Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has released a 30-man provisional for the
   Russia 2018 World Cup in the summer.
   Kano Pillars striker Junior Lokosa and Crotone attacker Simeon Nwankwo are the surprise inclusions as Malaga's
   Brown Ideye has been left out.
   Everton striker Henry Onyekuru has also been left out of the squad despite recovering quickly from an injury
   that kept him out for four months.
