Super Eagles goalkeeper Maduka Okoye will not be available when Nigeria take on Mexico and Ecuador respectively in two high profile international friendly games.
According to owngoalnigeria.com, Okoye has communicated to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) that he won’t be available but no reason was given for his absence, fueling talks of the goalkeeper potentially quitting the national team.
The Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper was largely targeted by a section of the Nigerian fans and media after the team’s round of 16 exit at the Africa Cup of Nations with many blaming him for the goal Tunisia scored, which decided the game.
Since after the tournament, he hasn’t represented Nigeria as he made a last-minute decision to shun the World Cup playoff against Ghana, which ended Nigeria’s hope of qualifying for the showpiece in Qatar.
It was also further gathered that he would also miss the start of the AFCON 2023 qualifiers with Nigeria to take on Sierra Leone in Abuja before making a trip to play Mauritius.
Meanwhile, new Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro might have called up Israel based goalkeeper, Adebayo Adeleye as a late call up to replace Okoye.
