Chippa United GK Daniel Akpeyi Heading To Uyo After Flight Hitch

Published: October 03, 2017

Allnigeriasoccer.com has reliably gathered that goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi will actively participate in the Super Eagles workout at Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday evening.

The Chippa United netminder could not meet the deadline for the invited players to report at Le Meridien Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort in Uyo as a result of a flight hitch.

Akpeyi arrived in Lagos on Monday evening but could not connect another flight to the Akwa Ibom State capital.

The Dana Air flight bringing him to Uyo is expected to touch down at the Akwa Ibom Airport at 1203 hours, if it arrives on schedule.

Gernot Rohr has recalled the former Warri Wolves star to the national team for the World Cup qualifier versus Zambia following his brilliant start to the season and a return to full fitness.

Akpeyi has conceded only two goals in his last four matches in the South African top-flight, while posting two shutouts.
