A decision on who will be in goal for Nigeria against Benin Republic is yet to be made according to coach of the team Gernot Rohr.
In the camp of the team for the game, the coach presently has three goalkeepers in John Noble, Francis Uzoho and Maduka Okoye. All three have been working with the goalkeepers coach of the team Alloy Agu.
Rohr who earlier named Okoye as first choice before the list of players was released said it’s now a case of who works the hardest in training as Okoye and Uzoho have both looked good in training.
“ Let us narrow it down to two goalkeepers in Uzoho and Okoye. They are both doing well in training at the moment and we will decide on the eve of the game. The best among both of them will be in goal”, Rohr said during the teams parley with the media.
On Enyimba’a goalkeeper John Noble , Rohr said he will no doubt get his chance if he maintains his current form with the Nigeria flag bearers in the CAF Confederation Cup.
“ It is a process and he will get his chance. We have to introduce him slowly like we did with Uzoho and Okoye. He need to be at the level he was when we picked him with Enyimba to get another chance”.
