Ikechukwu Ezenwa is in a race against time to be fit for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations after missing yesterday’s training session of the Super Eagles of Nigeria, Owngoalnigeria.com understands.
Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi and Francis Uzoho are the three goalkeepers in camp with Enyimba shot stopper Theophilus Afelokhai on standby in the list of players released by coach Gernot Rohr for the 2019 AFCON.
Yesterday Rohr confirmed that Ezenwa picked up an injury and will be examined in the coming days to ascertain the extent to which he is injured before a decision will be taken on his spot in the team.
