Super Eagles gaffer ,Genot Rohr has disclosed that John Mikel Obi and Chidozie Awaziem will play no part in the Third –Place Match between Nigeria and Tunisia on Wednesday.

John Mikel Obi will play no part in Wednesday’s AFCON 2019 Third-Pace encounter against the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia after picking up an injury in training.

“Mikel picked up an injury in training yesterday and could not train with us. He is not likely to feature against Tunisia, ” Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr told reporters on Tuesday.

“He has played two games already and has a good tournament as well. We must remember there are people who participated in the qualifiers but are not here. He is here with us because he accepted to come to the AFCON without any preconditions.”

The team’s defender Chidozie Awaziem will also miss the game due to suspension.

Awaziem picked a yellow card late in the game against Algeria which effectively ruled him out of Wednesday’s encounter.
