Nigeria opens its 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign on October 3 in Zambia.
Rohr said he has good information on the former African Nations Cup (AFCON) champions.
“They (Zambia) have some really good players – Kalaba is the best. He scores goals always for the team and I also know Sunzu very well because he plays in France,” africanFootball.com quoted Rohr as saying during a visit to the Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Mohammed Sanusi, in Abuja.
He assured that Super Eagles will prepare very well for the World Cup qualifiers because “we have to be in Russia.”
“We will need all our best players to be at their very best,” he said.
“We had a good list for the Tanzania match but a couple of players were injured and we will like to look at those ones as well.
“The focus is to strengthen the spine of the team and ensure we can beat any team.
“The confidence has not been there because the team failed to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations. But when results start to come, the confidence will return.”
Sanusi pledged full support for the coach and his backroom staff.
“We have immense confidence in you and your staff. We will not dabble into your technical area,” he said.
“Our responsibility is to provide the right atmosphere to make you succeed. We see that you are a gentleman but will not take your simplicity for granted.”
