Former Super Eagles
goalkeeper trainer, Ike Shorunmu says the team will dearly miss the services of
goalkeeper, Carl Ikeme but, insists Nigeria can beat the Desert Foxes of Algeria
in the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier in Uyo without him. Ikeme has
been the team’s safest hands since taking over from Vincent Enyeama who retired
from the team last year in Nigeria’s goalless draw against the Taifa Stars of
Tanzania in a 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Dar es salam. He was also
in goal as Nigeria conquered the Chipolopolo of Zambia 2-1 in Ndola, only to
pick up a hip injury in last weekend’s 1-1 draw against Blackburn in a
Championship game for Wolverhampton Wanderers. shorunmu “It is very sad that
the Super Eagles will miss Carl Ikeme considering the fact that he’s shown to
be a dependable goalkeeper since the departure of Vincent Enyeama from the
team,” Shorunmu said. “Again, who would have thought that Nigeria would find a
good goalie in Ikeme when Enyeama retired? The good thing about the Super
Eagles is that we are always blessed with quality goalkeepers. “We have no
choice but to depend on Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Dele Alampasu against Algeria. The
truth is, Ikeme’s absence won’t stop the Super Eagles from beating the Desert
Foxes in Uyo,” he concluded.
