Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr says Maduka Okoye won’t be in goal tomorrow when they take on Central Africa Republic (CAR) tomorrow in a 2022 World Cup qualifiers game.
The coach made this known during the pre match conference of the team explaining that it’s due to his late arrival to camp for the game. He said the Sparta Rotterdam midfielder need to be discipline after missing his flight for the game.
He said he has to make the decision considering the fact that many players see the game against CAR as an easy game and axing Okoye will help in keeping the team focused for the game.
The decision means Francis Uzoho will likely start in goal as he is the deputy to the 22 year old since losing his position as first choice largely due to injury and later inactivity at club level.
