Chelle Faces Key Goalkeeper Decision as Super Eagles Begin AFCON Qualifiers
Eric Chelle must plan for Nigeria’s AFCON qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau without Victor Osimhen, who is unavailable through injury. However, the bigger selection debate may be who starts in goal for the Super Eagles. Stanley Nwabali remains the established first-choice goalkeeper after his strong displays since AFCON 2023. His recent spell without regular club action could nevertheless give Chelle reason to consider other options. Maduka Okoye has impressed in recent friendly matches and is playing regularly for Udinese in Italy. Arthur Okonkwo is also in the squad, but the contest appears to be mainly between Nwabali’s experience with Nigeria and Okoye’s current club form.
