Head Coach Augustine Eguavoen has excused grieving
first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali from the Super Eagles’ squad to
confront the Amavubi of Rwanda in Monday’s final 2025 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifying match in Uyo.
“He has been excused from the game. However, the
player will come to watch the match and cheer his team mates on,” Team
Administrator, Dayo Enebi Achor, told thenff.com.
The player announced via his social media handle on
Friday that his father, Godspower Onyekam Abali, Chief Onyeogazrim 1 of Okwuzi,
had passed on. The former chief surveyor was 67.
Nwabali’s absence means the contest for the number one
jersey in Monday’s encounter at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium will be a straight
one between Italy-based Maduka Okoye and Ethiopia-based Amas Obasogie.
