Ikechukwu Ezenwa has revealed that he is fired up to mount the post for Nigeria against Cameroon.
Gernot Rohr announced that the FC Ifeanyi Ubah goalkeeper will be in goal on Friday as the Super Eagles Face the Indomitable Lions in Uyo.
The coach made this revelation during team’s press conference at Le Méridien Ibom Hotel & Golf Resort.
The number one goal keeper, Daniel Akpeyi was ruled out of the crucial encounter after picking up an injury during Tuesday training.
“I have been with the team for past two years - I joined the team in 2015. I have understudied Carl Ikeme and Daniel Akpeyi, and I think I have gathered a lot of experience working with them as brothers,” Ezenwa told media.
“The chance given to me is a good one and the most important thing is to make good use of it.
“The coach has confidence in me and I am confident that I will do my beloved country proud – and hope we emerge victorious on September 1.”
Meanwhile, Plateau United’s Dele Ajiboye has been called up to replace injured Akpeyi.
