Former Nigeria international Victor Ezeji wants to see Maduka Okoye start in goal when the Super Eagles tackle Algeria in Friday’s international friendly in Austria.
The 21-year-old is among two other goalkeepers in the squad that were called up by coach Gernot Rohr, alongside Matthew Yakubu and Dele Alampasu. The latter has been called-up for the first time ever while the former has been a frequent face in the Nigeria squad for the past five years, but has only one cap to his name.
Okoye, on his part, has been getting regular called-ups since his first invitation in a friendly with Ukraine on September 2019.
