Okoye, who featured for his team on Sunday has conceded goals in each of the 9 consecutive games this season following another defeat to PSV.
Despite starting nine of the last ten matches played by the Super Eagles, may be withdrawn from the starting eleven if Gernot Rohr was to take today’s training into account.
Meanwhile, Rohr while awaiting Okoye’s arrival has selected Francis Uzoho as his first goal-keeper and Daniel Akpeyi the 2nd.
