Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr says he will make a decision on whether to include Samuel Chukwueze in his 2019 Africa Cup of Nations squad or allow him take part at FIFA U-20 World Cup with the Flying Eagles.
Spanish LaLiga side Villarreal n has informed the sensational winger that he can only feature in one of the tournaments, so Rohr is trying to solve the problem.
“It is a little dilemma that we must try to fix and hopefully there will be a good solution,” Rohr told BBC Sport.
“I understand when the club says it is impossible for him to play in the Afcon and the youth World Cup.
“Chukwueze has good qualities and we already see why he plays at the top level in Spain.
“He has an interesting ability which makes him a very important talent for any team he plays with.
“I saw this quality when he played with us and the Olympic team, we must support Chukwueze and our other players too.”
Chukwueze will hope to continue his fine form when Villarreal host Eibar in a LaLiga game on Sunday.
