Super Eagles’ Coach, Gernot Rohr has decided to look into the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) for goalkeepers for the senior national team, an official of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has revealed.

Following the 0-2 loss to South Africa in an African Nations Cup qualifier last month, there has been calls for the manager to look for a ‘more reliable’ goalkeeper, as fans accused Daniel Akpeyi of not being suitable for the job.

While some have called for the recall of Dele Aiyenugba, others want former captain, Vincent Enyeama to be begged to come back to the team. But an NFF source, said Rohr has been convinced to look into the NPFL for good goalkeepers.

Meanwhile, officials of the home-based Eagles have disclosed that the team will convene in Kano on Monday to begin preparation for the CHAN qualifier against either Benin Republic or Togo.
The NFF initially announced that the team would begin camping tomorrow in the same city, but it is understood that the date has been shifted to allow the players feature for their clubs in this weekend’s NPFL matches.
