2018 World Cup: Rohr Reveals Ikeme Will Start In Nigerian Friendly With England
Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, has revealed that
goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme will take the traditional kick-off before
Nigeria’s final World Cup 2018 friendly game against England.
Rohr stated this while speaking on a BBC World Service programme.
It will be the first time Ikeme will return to the national team
fold, since he was diagnosed with Luekaemia just before the start of
pre-season training with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
His absence has left Rohr with few options between the sticks. After
using Daniel Akpeyi for a while, the German has now settled for
Ikechukwu Ezenwa as first choice.
Despite the performances of the duo, Nigerians are still sceptical of
their abilities, with many clamouring for Deportivo La Coruna B
goalkeeper, Francis Odinaka Uzoho to man the post at the 2018 World Cup.
Rohr has already ruled out former number one, Vincent Enyeama, from the tournament in Russia.
