Chief Technical adviser of the Super Eagles
Gernot Rohr has revealed that Ifeanyi Ubah FC goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa,
won't be selected to start for the team against the Foxes of Algeria this
weekend in Uyo, AkwaIbom.
Nigeria's first choice goalkeeper
Carl Ikeme has been ruled out of the 2018 World Cup qualifying clash due to
injury, and it was thought Ezenwa will replace the Wolves goalkeeper in front
of goal, but Rohr has now revealed he won't play Ezenwa because Ezenwa has not
played his club side in six weeks saying he'll settle for other
goalkeepers Daniel Akpeyi and Dele Alapasu..
"I am confident in all three goalkeepers in
camp. Akpeyi is playing regularly and so too Alampasu. I attended the
Federation Cup final to see Ezenwa play, but was disappointed he was not
played. I’ve never seen him play a game live," Rohr told
journalists.
"I maintain I cannot feature players who
have stayed six weeks without action. It’s unfortunate but that’s how it
is."
