Leicester City Striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Semi Ajayi of English club, Rotherham United, have been dropped by Coach Gernot Rohr from the Super Eagles squad to the AFCON.
Iheanacho has struggled for game time at his Premier League club, while defender or defensive midfielder, Semi Ajayi, was up against more experienced players who play at bigger clubs.
Rohr has all of this week hinted that club form will be a major determinant in the players on the final squad to Egypt 2019.
He had said Iheanacho is lacking self-belief and has been unhappy.
Rohr did not play the former Manchester City star in last night’s warm-up against Zimbabwe to finally seal his decision to leave him out of the party to Egypt.
The Eagles will set up training base in Ismailia, where they will play a final warm-up game against Senegal on Sunday, June 16.
