Super Eagles Suffer Setback as Maduka Okoye Ruled Out of Jordan Friendly
The Super Eagles will be without goalkeeper Maduka Okoye for Tuesday’s friendly against Jordan after he picked up a thigh injury in training. Okoye sustained the knock during a session in Antalya, Turkey, forcing him to withdraw from the clash. This comes as a blow to head coach Eric Chelle, who wanted to assess the keeper’s form following strong performances with Udinese. With Okoye unavailable, Francis Uzoho and other backups will vie for the number one shirt. Chelle had hoped for a full squad to test tactical options ahead of upcoming competitions. Despite this setback, Nigeria remain upbeat after securing a 2-1 victory over Iran in their previous outing.
