Injury knocks out Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye
Udinese No 1 goalkeeper Maduka Okoye will miss tomorrow’s Super Eagles friendly against Jordan after he suffered a thigh injury in training.
Okoye was in goal in the first friendly against Iran, which the Super Eagles won 2-1.
He will now be replaced by either the experienced Francis Uzoho or Adebayo Adeleye.
Coach Eric Chelle will be forced to make changes to his starting XI against Jordan as he will now be without three players who started against Iran – Okoye, Semi Ajayi and Bruno Onyemaechi.
Onyemaechi was given compassionate leave to be with his partner as she gave birth to their first child, while Ajayi was also excused to attend to a personal matter.
