AFCON 2023: 5 Super Eagles players that have no business making the squad list
We explore why five Super Eagles players might not be ideal choices for the Nigerian squad at AFCON 2023.
Uzoho joins Super Eagles
The 25-year-old has come under heavy criticism from fans and pundits for his recent performances in between the sticks for the national side.
However, Super Eagles manager, Jose Peseiro, who has come out several times to defend the shot-stopper, ignored calls to drop to name him in his 25-man squad for the AFCON.
)
Four days after the camp officially opened, Uzoho joined his teammates in the quest to bring back the AFCON title for the fourth time.
According to a post by the Super Eagles on their social media accounts, the Cyprus-based goalkeeper arrived on Wednesday alongside the duo of Umar Sadiq and Alhassan Yusuf, who is a late call-up as a replacement for Wilfred Ndidi.
Ndidi will be a big miss for the Nigeria Super Eagles after he was ruled out from Africa’s biggest football fiesta because of an unfortunate injury.
In his absence, Royal Antwerp youngster, Alhassan, gets a chance to impress the coaches and Nigerians.
Jose Peseiro and his Super Eagles will play their first game at the AFCON 2023 against Equatorial Guinea on January 14th.
