"Super Eagles Squad Update: Udinese Goalkeeper Receives Last-Minute Call-Up"

Posted : 12 October 2023
"Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has received a last-minute call-up to join the Super Eagles squad ahead of their international friendly against Saudi Arabia at the Estádio Municipal de Portimão this Friday.

Okoye, who hails from Germany, hasn't featured for the Super Eagles in over twenty months, with his last appearance dating back to a round of 16 clash against Tunisia during the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in January 2022.

During the last friendly in Portugal against Seleção das Quinas in November 2022, Okoye was a non-playing substitute, marking his absence from active play for quite some time.

Concerns arise over the availability of goalkeepers Adebayo Adeleye (Hapoel Jerusalem) and Olorunleke Ojo (Enyimba), who have yet to report for international duty, raising questions about their participation in the upcoming friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.

Given the current circumstances, it seems unlikely that Adeleye, based in Israel, would be allowed to travel to Portugal to join his international teammates.

Okoye faces the challenge of match rustiness heading into the October internationals, having been inactive for both club and country for 277 days.

The 24-year-old has not seen competitive play for his clubs since his last start for Watford against Reading in the FA Cup on January 7, 2023.

Meanwhile, Uzoho is also out of favor at Omonia Nicosia and has not featured in a single game for the Cypriot side in the new season."
