Akpeyi Returns For WCQ Vs Zambia, Nwakaeme, Echiejile Also Called Up
Published: September 25, 2017.png)
According to information gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com, Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has been recalled to the Super Eagles for their World Cup qualifier against Zambia next Saturday.
The former Warri Wolves star has sparkled since returning from an injury that kept him out of the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon, posting two shutouts against Platinum Stars and Bloemfontein Celtic while conceding only one goal as the Chilli Boys were held to a 1-1 draw by SuperSport United in the penultimate round of matches.
Manager Gernot Rohr has an interesting goalkeeping decision to make ahead of the crucial match against Zambia, whether Akpeyi or Ikechukwu Ezenwa, who was a shadow of himself in the final of the WAFU Cup, will be his first-choice goalkeeper.
The German coach is sticking by Elderson Echiejile and has invited the Monaco loanee for the showdown in Uyo.
Other confirmed invitees include Abdullahi Shehu, William Troost-Ekong, Chidozie Awaziem, Leon Balogun, John Ogu, Uche Agbo, Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, John Obi Mikel, Eddy Onazi, Moses Simon, Ahmed Musa, Alex Iwobi and Anthony Nwakaeme.
The Super Eagles camp will open in Uyo on Monday, October 2.
