Meanwhile, Gernot Rohr has confirmed that he will be banking on either of Daniel Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa for the friendly match against Egypt.
“We’ll see the other goalkeepers against Egypt,” Rohr said in his post-match interview.
“They will play and we are confident that they won’t disappoint when they play on Tuesday. Akpeyi or Ezenwa will play the game.”
