Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has said he has yet to decide on No 1 goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, who is nursing both knee and ankle injuries.
The coach disclosed the fitness concerns surrounding Nwabali at the pre-match press briefing for tomorrow’s 2025 AFCON Group C clash against Uganda.
“He has a little pains in his knee and has problems with his ankle,” Eric Chelle said.
“We have a final training before the match and then I will decide.
“We will manage for the team.”
Nwabali has played the Super Eagles first two games in Morocco despite fears that he is carrying injuries from his South African club Chippa United.
Failure to guarantee Okoye in SE starting lineup might cause SE setback in AFCON,hence the hidden injury of Stanley has revealed itself.
Chelle and goalkeeper ‘s trainer fumbled on the selection of goalkeepers.
Chelle was supposed to laise with Chippa United Doctor on Stanley ‘s situation before final selection but failed woefully to address it.
Okoye knew that Stanley is not 100% fit for AFCON
