Exclusive: Nigeria Coach Rohr To Run The Rule Over Dele Alampasu In France

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr will start running the rule over Cesarense goalkeeper Dele Alampasu in Corsica on May 24.

The former Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles netminder is among the foreign-based professionals named in the provisional squad for the training camp in France.

Alampasu has yet to debut for the senior national team but has been invited to the squad in the past, most recently for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo.

The 20-year-old was a non-playing substitute against the North Africans, with Chippa United's Daniel Akpeyi getting the nod of Rohr and goalkeeper coach Alloy Agwu.

Wolves star Carl Ikeme is in a race against the clock to be fit for the African Cup of Nations qualifier against the South Africans, bearing it in mind that he has missed the last eight matches contested by the Championship team.
