Omonia ask Nigeria Football Federation to delay arrival of Super Eagles GK Uzoho for AFCON training camp
Published: December 27, 2023
Cypriot First Division club Omonia Nicosia have asked the Nigeria Football Federation to delay the arrival of Francis Uzoho for the Super Eagles' Africa Cup of Nations training camp.
According to reports in the Cypriot press including Kerkida, Omonia asked for a short extension to Uzoho's integration with the Nigerian National Team for the Africa Cup of Nations and the indications are positive.
Omonia manager Sofronios Avgousti has a goalkeeping crisis on his hands after first choice goalkeeper Fabiano suffered an injury that will see him sidelined until January and Cyprus international Charalampos Kyriakidis is also in the treatment room.
Cyprus star Constantinos Panagi has been loaned out to Ethnikos Achna for the entirety of the season, leaving Uzoho as the only senior goalkeeper at the disposal of Avgousti.
Assuming everything goes according to Omonia's plan, Uzoho will be in goal against AEL on January 2 before reporting for international duty with the Super Eagles.
The 2013 Fifa U17 World Cup winner has started each of the last three matches played by Omonia, keeping one clean sheet while conceding four goals.
The Confederation of African Football have stated that the release period for players named on the Africa Cup of Nations rosters is January 1, 2024.
