Barring a last minute change of mind Joshua Oluwayemi will get another chance with the senior national team of Nigeria when they regroup for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
The Tottenham Hotspur U23 shot stopper was a part of the B team that played against Mexico in an international friendly that ended 4-0 in favour of the Mexicans. He was an unused substitute following his late call up as replacement for the injured Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
We gathered he is likely to still be a part of the squad with coach Gernot Rohr not having the option of calling up a goalkeeper from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) which is on break.
Oluwayemi who is the third choice goalkeeper of Spurs but the first choice for the U23 will at that time be actively involved in English Premier League 2 games putting him in a strong position for a call up.
Although Rohr still has Kaizer Chiefs Daniel Akpeyi as an option, Oluwayemi is seen as a better prospect as back up to the duo of Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho who are the first and second choice respectively.
