ENYEAMA IS BACK! Eagles coach confirms goalkeeper’s return

Vincent Enyeama will return to international football once he recovers from knee injury, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has revealed.
Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is expected to come out of retirement and return to the national
when he fully recovers from knee surgery, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has revealed.
This declaration comes on the back of a
clamour for the return of the Lille shot stopper after he quit international football in October 2015 under a huge cloud.
“Enyeama has had a knee meniscus surgery and he is not for (the matches against) Cameroon, that is too early for him, but he will come later,” declared Rohr.
Enyeama, 34, is Nigeria’s most capped international with 101 appearances for the country.
England-based Carl Ikeme replaced Enyeama as the country’s No 1, but he has now been sidelined after he was diagnosed with acute leukemia.
Daniel Akpeyi, Dele
Alampasu and Ikechukwu Ezenwa will jostle for the Eagles No. 1 shirt for the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon next month.
