Newly crowned Cypriot champion with Omonia Nicosia Francis Uzoho could be the man to lead out the Super Eagles tomorrow night against Zimbabwe in the Unity in the absence of Wilfred Ndidi and Moses Simon.

Uzoho, who was Nigeria’s No 1 goalkeeper at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, gave a hint of this at today’s pre-match press conference.

‘It’s an honour playing so long for the national team, representing my country,” said the shot stopper who made his Super Eagles debut in 2017.

“Eventually, I’m about to have the band (captain’s), if the coach picks me for the game.”

The other goalkeepers in camp, Arthur Okonkwo and Michael Atata, are yet to be capped by Nigeria.

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has congratulated Man of the Match Femi Azeez on his goal-scoring debut, but at the same faulted some of the things that the Millwall winger failed to do.

Femi Azeez made the dream debut with two goals for the Super Eagles to sink Zimbabwe and advance to the final of the Unity Cup Saturday in London.

“He scored two goals, I congratulate him, but he lost a lot of balls, so not happy with him even though he recovered some of these balls,” Eric Chelle said at the post-match media briefing.

“I also asked them to do the high pressing for the whole 90 minutes.”

The coach praised his experimental selection for “playing like a team who have been playing together for the past six months, one year”, saying they deserved their victory.

“It was not easy for some of the players to play for the first time against a strong team like Zimbabwe,” he said.

“But this is a friendly not a World Cup or AFCON qualifier.

“All the same we deserved our victory and i am happy for the result.”
