Zaidu Sanusi will be recalled to the Super Eagles once he is back playing regularly at FC Porto, according to coach Gernot Rohr.
Zaidu was dropped for this month’s World Cup double header against Central African Republic with uncapped Calvin Bassey taking his place.
“When we had to do the list he (Sanusi) didn’t play the last five games in the club,” Rohr told ESPN.
“We cannot put three leftbacks in the list.
“But we know already his qualities and he will come back next time when he is playing in the club.
“I like this player very much, but it’s also the opportunity to test a new player.”
