Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has added one more goalkeeper to the team as they step up preparation for their clash against Zimbabwe on Tuesday in the Unity Cup, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Chelle included three goalkeepers in Arthur Okonkwo, Francis Uzoho and Michael Atata in his list of players, but earlier today before the arrival of Uzoho a new goalkeeper joined the team.
He is former Arsenal youth team goalkeeper Ovie Ejaria who is now with Danish side Midtjylland, but was on loan to fellow top division side FC Fredericia. Injury cut short his stay at the club.
Now back in England and fully fit, he was granted permission by Chelle to help him build his fitness after a long injury lay off. The 23 year old is also eligible for England and Uganda.
However he has long maintained that his desire is to play for the senior national team of Nigeria, and training with the team is the first step towards achieving that goal.
