Update on Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho and national team status
Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho recently kept a clean sheet during a match against Omonia Aradippou, a performance expected to boost his confidence for the remainder of the season. Following this, reports from Nigeria suggest that Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has decided to appoint Uzoho as the starting goalkeeper for the national team. This reported shift in the national team comes amid changes in the squad's goalkeeping hierarchy, specifically the contract termination of former starter Stanley Nwabali, who has been a free agent for several months. Additionally, Maduka Okoye of Udinese has reportedly lost his starting position due to a disagreement. Omonia's coaching staff, led by Henning Berg, expects Uzoho to provide stability as Fabiano continues to recover. The club is currently navigating the second phase of the championship season.
