The 25-year-old however lost his place in the team after committing a blunder in the Super Eagles Round of 16 clash against Tunisia.

The Udinese shot stopper was overlooked for around two years before earning a recall into team.
Okoye has now said he wishes to reclaim the No 1 jersey.
“Yeah of course this is what I want, but Stanley (Nwabali) set a high point with a great AFCON, so I’m just patiently waiting, and trying to do my best in training and impress the staff as much as possible,” he told Football Temple.

Rguavoen should please not field Nwabali for both legs. Especially if we win the first leg in Uyo, he should please play Okoye in Tripoli. Reports say he was the best in training of the 3.
Bunch of lies, who is giving you such report? Why shouldn’t the coach field Nwabali in goal. Would the story be the same if Nwabali had gone on a break, would you honestly beg the coach to let Nwabali come in his place. I will keep repeating it, he had the position on a platter of gold and felt indispensable. Where was he during the qualifiers, when we needed him most ( still having mental breakdown). How are we so sure he is ready mentally to man the post for the national team. Only 3 things will see him get his spot back.
1. Bribe his way back
2. Have his defense line sabotage a game
3. Have Nwabali injured.
