The Super Eagles trainer doesn’t want his squad to be distracted by the futures of the young Premier League stars.
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr is choosing to respect Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham’s wishes of not opting to represent the Super Eagles at the moment.
The Chelsea duo, who are also eligible to represent England, aren’t looking to commit to the West African nation at the present time.
“They are both interesting players, but we have made our immediate plans without Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori,” Rohr told BBC Sport.
“They are not interested in discussing their international options at the moment and we need to respect that.”
Abraham has been capped twice by England, in friendlies against Germany and Brazil in November 2017, but could still play for Nigeria having never represented the Three Lions in any competitive fixture.
Tomori, on the other hand, hasn’t been capped by the senior team but has played for the England U21’s 15 times. He is also eligible to play for Canada.
