Coach of the Super Eagles of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has explained the reason behind the none inclusion of Isaac Success in the squad for the upcoming back to back World Cup 2018 Qualifiers against Cameroon.
Success is one of the players the coach was banking on to help Nigeria get a positive result when they play Cameroon on the 1st and 4th of September in what is a battle between first and second position in group B.
However the Watford ace has failed to follow up his pre season showing which made the coach to have him in his plans, as he has failed to break into the matchday squad of Watford for their first two games of the season.
” Success has issues when it comes to his weight. As a matter of fact anytime the Eagles are in camp Rohr ensures he gets special drills to help him shed some weight. His upper body mass is not helping his cause to stay injury free”, a source told Owngoalnigeria.com.
