Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro has publicly addressed the issue of his second choice goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali's, fitness for the game set to happen on Friday. In a recent interview, the seasoned coach affirmed his confidence in his team while stating that should Nwabali not be able to play, he would have no hesitations fielding the first-choice keeper, Francis Uzoho.
"If Stanley Nwabali cannot play on Friday, I will play Francis Uzoho. I have absolute confidence in my players" stated Peseiro during the pre-match conference.
The potential goalkeeping change follows Nwabali's uncertain fitness situation. The second-choice goalie has been facing fitness challenges and has been struggling to reach full match readiness. Peseiro, however, was optimistic about his recovery and readiness to take to the pitch.
