Salisu Yusuf excluded from Seychelles trip

Super Eagles assistant coach, Salisu Yusuf has been omitted from the Seychelles trip after been investigated for an alleged bribery scandal.

Salisu was accused to have received a bribe from two journalists that pretended to be football agents prior to preparation for the CHAN Championship.

Although Rohr, who denied that his assistant took a bribe from undercover reporters who posed as player agents, said it was on the orders of FIFA.

Nigeria will face Seychelles on September 7 in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Victoria.
