There is still no clear cut reason on the presence of goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa in the camp of the Super Eagles despite earlier reports that he has taken the spot of Daniel Akpeyi in the squad for Nigeria’s AFCON 2021 qualifiers.
Ezenwa arrived the camp of the Nigerian team in Benin City earlier today with camp sources revealing that he was invited as a replacement for Akpeyi who was having problems securing an entry visa into Nigeria.
However that report seems not to be entirely accurate as sources close to Akpeyi revealed that the Kaizer Chiefs shot stopper is in Lagos enroute Benin City to join the team ahead of the game against Sierra Leone on Friday.
Akpeyi’s arrival has somehow brought about confusion on why Ezenwa who was originally in the standby list is camp. The Heartland FC of Owerri goalkeeper hasn’t played any form of football since March when the Nigeria Professional Football League was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
