By Daily Sports on October 12, 2017

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr has substituted injured Elderson Echiejile with Russian Nigerian, Brian Idp>

The decision followed the injury that Echiejile picked up in Nigeria’s 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend.

Echiejile went off injured late in the game, and was replaced by Chelsea full back Ola Aina ‎, and recent test suggest he will spend at least four weeks on the sidelines as he work his way back to full fitness.

Idowu plays for Russian side Amkar Perm, and even though he qualifies to represent Russia, he was interested in switching allegiance to Nigeria before their first game against Algeria.

Issues concerning owning a Nigerian passport stopped him from honouring the call to represent Nigeria who are already through to the World Cup courtesy of their 1-0 win over Zambia last weekend.
