Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle is facing a selection headache in goal ahead of the friendly game against Portugal, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The coach is thorn between starting one of the duo of Maduka Okoye or Arthur Okonkwo for the game tomorrow. Both goalkeepers have taken turn in goal for the team in their June’s commitment.
Okonkwo was in goal for both games in the Unity Cup keeping a clean sheet against Zimbabwe (2-0) and another in the final against Jamaica (3-0), earning praises from Chelle for his performance.
Okoye however returned for the 2-2 draw against Poland, and is hoping to keep his spot in goal against Portugal, but Okonkwo’s performance in training has set doubts in the mind of coach.
A decision is expected to be made after the team’s final session today, but whoever gets the nod is expected to give his best against the world cup bound team.
