Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has revealed Holland-based  Tyrone Ebuehi will honour another invitation to play for the Super Eagles  after he turned down a chance to play against Algeria.The 20-year-old ADO Den Haag defender had sensationally rejected Rohr’s invite to earn his first international cap for  Nigeria, saying he wanted to focus on his club career.Ebuehi, who   was born in Holland to a Dutch mother and a Nigerian father, has been on top form at Kyocera Stadium this term. The player is also eligible to play for Holland.“He’s a very good, young player, a right-back. His agent did not want him to come yet because he is still very young, he has only played four, five games for the first team of Den Haag,” Rohr was quoted by AfricanFootball.com as saying on Sunday.
“His agent believes that it’s too early for him to play for Nigeria, that he should first stablise at his club.“But the player wants to come and next time, he will come.“He said  he would  play for Nigeria at first, but then the agent came into the picture and made some observations.“I also spoke to his parents and they wanted him to come too.”Meanwhile, Rohr has praised the performance of Uche Agbo while also saluting the versatility of the Granada defender.He said, “Agbo did very well against Barcelona, where he played as a defensive midfielder.I also like him because he can also  play as a  centre-back.”Agbo has been handed his second call-up by Rohr for Saturday’s World Cup qualifier against Algeria.
