The three-time AFCON champions are grouped alongside Tunisia, Tanzania, and Uganda in Group C.
Rohr, a former coach of the Super Eagles, told Brila FM that he hopes Eric Chelle will give confidence to the players but not against Benin.

“I wish all the best to the Super Eagles and Eric Chelle. I knew him; he was a good player.

“The experience will come, and I hope he will give confidence to the players but not against Benin.”
