La Liga club label Super Eagles goalkeeper Nwabali 'GOAT', hope he's fit to face Angola
Published: January 28, 2024Spanish La Liga outfit Cádiz have hailed Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali for his performances at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, labeling him 'GOAT', and are hoping he is fit for Nigeria's clash with Angola on Friday, February 2.
Jose Peseiro decided to name the Chippa United shot-stopper as his first choice ahead of Francis Uzoho at the start of the tournament.
Since making his debut against Equatorial Guinea, the 27-year-old has yet to put a foot wrong and has conceded just one goal, keeping three clean sheets.
As proof of his brilliant performances in goal, two of Nwabali's saves which he made against Ivory Coast made CAF's top 5 saves of the group stage.
He hasn't missed any minute of action at AFCON until yesterday when he had to be taken off in the 80th minute for a suspected knee injury after colliding with Cameroonian forward Georges-Kévin N'Koudou.
The official account of Cádiz Club de Fútbol in Nigeria wished the Nigerian goalkeeper a quick recovery and also praised him in the process.
"All the luck in the world for GOAT Nwabali to be recovered for Nigeria's next round in AFCON."
José Peseiro will be hoping Nwabali is fit for the quarterfinal game against Angola unless he will have to rely on Uzoho.
