AFCON 2023: Goalkeeper Nwabali may face Angola – NFF

Stanley Nwabali may still be available for selection for the quarter-final duel with Palancas Negras of Angola if he passes a late fitness test set for Wednesday, the Nigeria Football Federation has announced.

In a time when the Nigerian football scene has been lacking good goalkeepers, the Chippa United goal-tender has won the hearts of Nigerians with his self-assured posture between the sticks and his penchant for launching onslaughts with long kicks that have been unsettling the opposition at this tournament.
