Tope Okeowo of Peckham United, is expressing joy at his call-up to the Super Eagles’ Crown Plaza Camp, as a replacement for Carl Ikeme, who was missing in the team’s final training session due to a knock.
This was as South Africa-based Daniel Akpeyi’s arrival at the camp was being delayed and Ikechukwu Ezenwa is still expected in camp from Nigeria due to visa hitches.
Okeowo, who described the call-up as an honor, on his twitter handle today, said he was happy with the call-up even though it came as a huge surprise to him.
He noted that it was not his first time to have been called up to the national team, as he was part of the 2003 Golden Eaglets squad to Finland 2003.
Nigeria will take on Senegal at the Hive
Stadium, Barnet FC’s ground today from 8 p.m. before wrapping up their schedule
against Burkina Faso next week Monday to round up their two-game international
break.
