The youngster is expected to be in goal when the Super Eagles in Friday’s essential World Cup clash in Volgograd
Francis Uzoho knows what is expected of him and as such will not be dazed by the pressure of being Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper.
Since making his international debut in Nigeria’s 4-2 victory over Argentina in November 2017, the Deportivo La Coruna man has put Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi in the shade to be Gernot Rohr’s most preferred choice in goal.
His first real baptism came against Croatia where he conceded two goals. However, he is not weighed down despite the burden attached to his role in the Super Eagles.
