Super Eagles goalkeeper, Maduka Okoye, has been ruled out of Nigeria’s international friendly against Jordan after suffering a thigh injury in training.
Okoye had only recently returned to the national team setup after missing out on the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
He featured in Nigeria’s 2–1 victory over Iran in their opening game of the four-nation invitational tournament, marking a strong comeback between the sticks.
The goalkeeper, who has now returned to Italy, is expected to undergo further assessment and begin recovery with his club, Udinese.
With Okoye no longer in contention, Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle will turn to Adebayo Adeleye and Francis Uzoho, who are now expected to compete for the starting role in goal.
