Former Nigeria international goalkeeper Emmanuel Babayaro says the Super Eagles will have to be wary of the goalkeeping department heading into the world cup qualifiers games against Rwanda and South Africa respectively.
Head coach of the team Eric Chelle called up three goalkeepers for both games in Stanley Nwabali, Amas Obasogie and Adebayo Adeleye. Nwabali is largely expected to keep his spot as the first choice of the team.
Babayaro’s worry is that the options available to the coach in the event that something happens to Nwabali doesn’t inspire confidence owing to their lack of game time at club level, since the start of the season.
” It’s normal for you to look at the options in goal, because it’s a specialist area and when you do that it’s not looking healthy for us”, Babayaro told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive chat.
” Only Nwabali is active judging by a post by one of your colleagues. The league in Tanzania hasn’t started yet and the guy (Adebayo) is yet to play a game this season in Greece. It should be a concern to the coaches”.
