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."
