Rohr not sure on Enyeama availability for Russia 2018

-
Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr  admitted it will be difficult for Vincent Enyeama to make a return to the squad ahead of  the 2018 FIFA World Cup following his inactivity at the club level.
Enyeama who is Nigeria's most capped  player quit international football in 2015 following a bitter row with former handler of the side Sunday Oliseh.
He  has been lined up for a return to the team due to the unavailability of current first choice Carl Ikeme over health issues.
He is however yet to feature for French club Lille this season which has prompted Rohr to reconsider his decision
"For Vincent Enyeama it is difficult at the moment because he has not play for his club this season," stated Rohr while responding to questions on the veteran goalkeeper availability for the World Cup.
"It's the same with Dele Alampasu who has also not been active at club level. It will be difficult for the two of them to make the squad for the World Cup.
" But we have other good goalkeepers like Uzoho (Francis) who came on in the friendly against Argentina and did well.
"I'm sure we will find a way around it and have good goalkeepers in Russia."
The Super Eagles have been drawn in Group D along with two-time World champions Argentina, Croatia and debutants Iceland  for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The West Africans will open their campaign against Croatia on June 16 at the Kaliningrad Stadium.

Barcelona corporate director Pancho Schroder concedes Lionel Messi's huge buyout clause may not be enough to frighten off big spenders. The Argentine maestro put a halt to speculation he could leave the Catalan giants by signing a contract extension until 2021 in November, with the deal including a €700 million release clause. But Schroder told Sky Sports: "We have established a clause that we consider sufficient for Messi to retire at Barcelona, but, having said that, a year ago we thought that Neymar's clause was also good enough to keep him and last summer it proved that it was not so. "Looking to the future, I think it's difficult, but I don't have a crystal ball and now things are getting a little crazy."

Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has dismissed as “fake news” allegations from a US woman that he raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009. “What they said today? Fake, fake news,” the Portuguese player said in an Instagram video. “They want to promote [themselves by using] my name. It’s normal. They want to be famous to say my name, but it is part of the job. I am a happy man and all good.” His comments come after German magazine  Der Spiegel  published an interview with Kathryn Mayorga in which she publicly identified herself as the woman making the allegation. The same magazine last year published a  report  stating Ronaldo had reached a $375,000 settlement with an unnamed woman in 2010. Her lawyer told Der Spiegel they are now seeking to nullify that agreement. “I’ve had like these serious breakdowns,” Mayorga told Der Spiegel. “And again, blaming of the rape. And I blame him, and I blame myself for signing that thing.” In a statement provided to BuzzFee...
