SKF Sered of Slovakia shot stopper Matthew Yakubu has not been contacted over his rumored call up to the senior national team of Nigeria according to his representatives.
The goalkeeper who was once again nominated in the team of the week in Slovakia and was also pivotal in helping his team to a win yesterday in the Cup is widely expected to be called up to the senior team of Nigeria.
However as at the time of filing in this report sources close to the player and also Sered insist they have not been contacted by coach of the team Gernot Rohr or the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Their claim is a sharp contrast to what a close confidant of the coach told Owngoalnigeria.com around same time yesterday as he hinted that Yakubu is in the list with Rohr impressed over his rise to first choice at the modest Slovakian side.
21 year old Yakubu kept four clean sheets in a row for Sered and was voted the goalkeeper of the month in Slovakia last week. He was a member of the Nigerian U20 team of 2019.
