Uzoho was injured during Nigeria’s 1-1 draw with Brazil in Singapore at the weekend with doctors ruling out the former Golden Eaglet for six months. Uzoho’s absence has created anxiety among Super Eagles’ followers as the Cyprus-based goalkeeper was seen as having grown to fill the gap left by Vincent Enyeama, who retired from the national team three years ago.
Super Eagles’ Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye told The Guardian yesterday that Rohr is exploring other options, including the inclusion of Afelokhai in the squad, adding that Dele Alampasu is also in the picture. “But that does not mean the coach is not delighted with Daniel Akpeyi’s recent performances in South Africa. We keep our fingers crossed,” he said.
Meanwhile, former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Ike Shorunmu has dismissed the belief in some quarters that the national team is in panic mode because of Uzoho’s injury. He urged the Eagles’ technical crew to continue encouraging all the national team goalkeepers to do their best, stressing that panicking over the absence of a particular goaltender is not good for the progress of the team.
