Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Chippa United glovesman Daniel Akpeyi is still in South Africa, about a week after the conclusion of the South African Premier Division.

The Super Eagles goalkeeper has revealed that he will link up with his international teammates in Abuja this coming weekend ahead of the crucial African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

With Wolves star Carl Ikeme not making the latest roster as a result of injury, it is a no-brainer that Akpeyi is everyone's pick to be in goal next Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Super Eagles players that prosecuted the friendlies against Corsica and Togo had checked out of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Paris as at 1054 hours Nigerian time, and are presently at the airport waiting to board a flight to Lagos.

Only yesterday, Gernot Rohr's side thrashed Togo in their last warmup game before their meeting with Bafana Bafana.
