Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle dey face serious headache for goalkeeper position as e dey decide who go start against Portugal for friendly match tomorrow.
Both Maduka Okoye and Arthur Okonkwo don take turn for goal for Nigeria for June international window. Okonkwo no con see action for Unity Cup, where e keep clean sheet against Zimbabwe (2-0) and Jamaica (3-0), earning praises from Chelle for im performance.
Okoyo return for the 2-2 draw against Poland, where e make some good saves but also collect second goal from long range wey fans dey argue about. The 26-year-old deny Robert Lewandowski three times but some fans believe e suppose do better for Wisniewski strike.
Okonkwo performance for training don set doubt for coach mind. A decision go come after team final session today, but whoever get nod go need to give im best against World Cup-bound Portugal.
Portugal get one of best attacks for world, so whoever start for Nigeria must be mentally strong. Okoye no stranger to criticism; e take three-year break from national team after error for AFCON 2021 wey knock Super Eagles out. E don overcome that and want to be number one for Chelle lineup.
Former Enyimba goalkeeper Noble John urge Okoye to ignore noise and focus on Portugal game. In goalkeeping, every single game is completely different. If you have a great game today, the next match might bring entirely different challenges,
Noble tell Footy Africa.
Okoye hit 20 caps for Super Eagles against Poland and go look to add more until Stanley Nwabali return to tighten competition.
