For the fourth game running since announcing his return to full fitness, the first choice goalkeeper of the senior national team of Nigeria Francis Uzoho wasn’t selected by Apoel Nicosia.
Uzoho was not in the squad that secured a 4-1 win over Kaisar Kyzylorda to seal their progress to the next round of the Europa League. The duo of Miguel Silva and Dimitrios Priniotaki were the preferred option as first and second choice respectively.
His absence means the last time he was involved in a competitive game was on the 15th of October last year when he kept goal for Nigeria in the 1-1 draw against Brazil. A game which saw him picked up the injury that sidelined him for six months.
Three weeks ago he announced his return to full training and even posted pictures of test games in training where his team emerged victorious but he still hasn’t keep goal in any of their last four games in all competitions.
