Update On Ikeme Injury: Daniel Akpeyi Awaits Phone Call From Super Eagles Coach
<b>Allnigeriasoccer.com</b> understands that the Nigeria Football Federation and Super Eagles coaching staff led by Gernot Rohr have not yet opened a line of communication with Chippa United glovesman Daniel Akpeyi ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Algeria. <br /><br />At the moment, Wolverhampton Wanderers shot-stopper Carl Ikeme has been rated touch-and-go for the game in Uyo on November 12 after sustaining a hip injury in his side’s 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.<br /><br />It is thought that German tactician Rohr will need to comb for another capable goalkeeper in the event that Ikeme fails to recover from his ailment in the coming days. <br /><br />Former Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Dele Alampasu and FC Ifeanyi Ubah star Ikechukwu Ezenwa are among the three goalkeepers invited but both are lacking international experience. <br /><br />Akpeyi was in goal in the Super Eagles narrow 1-0 loss to Egypt in an African Cup of Nations qualifier in March after Ikeme pulled out of the rematch in Alexandria. <br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel <br />
