Rohr revealed that Moses Simon will miss the World Cup due to an injury he suffered.

On Wilfred Ndidi recovery, the coach revealed that the player is on a special fitness training routine to help him recover on time for the World Cup.
“Ndidi has to follow a special programme for his club and for us because we want him to be 100 percent fit for the World Cup. He will join the rest of the squad in training after Monday’s game and I hope to have him for the game in England, ”Rohr said.
