Uzoho's Proposed Move To Elche Confirmed By Eagles Boss : He'll Play For First Team
Published: August 24, 2018
Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has kept faith with goalkeeper Francis Uzoho for the 2019 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Seychelles.
Uzoho's place in the starting line-up has come under pressure after some shaky performances and his inactivity at club level.
The 19-year-old who has nine international caps is on the brink of joining Elche on a season-long loan from Deportivo La Coruna, Rohr has confirmed.
Speaking at a media parley attended by allnigeriasoccer.com on Friday, Rohr said, "We are comfortable with Uzoho."
"He is young and just changed club. He has moved to Elche where he will enjoy first team opportunities and not the second team of Deportivo La Coruna."

"We have our keepers for three or four training sessions. It's important they have enough game time under their belt before national team assignment."
