Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho suffers injury during international match

On March 31, 2026, Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho participated in a friendly match between the national teams of Nigeria and Jordan, held in Antalya, Turkey. This marked Uzoho's first appearance in the starting lineup for Nigeria since December 2025. During the 17th minute, Mousa Al-Taamari scored for Jordan with a direct free kick to make it 1-0. In the 55th minute, Uzoho sustained an injury while attempting to clear the ball and was forced to leave the game. Omonia is currently awaiting updates on the severity of the player's condition. The club is concerned about the injury given the importance of the goalkeeper's match fitness for upcoming fixtures. This development follows a period where Uzoho sought to regain his status as a first-choice keeper due to the absence of Stanley Nwabali.
