Afcon 2019: Francis Uzoho's selection against Tunisia not due to critics - Daniel Akpeyi

Nigeria goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi believes the decision to use reserve goalkeeper Francis Uzoho in Wednesday's Africa Cup of Nations third/fourth place playoff against Tunisia has nothing to do with his performance against Algeria.

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr noted ahead of the match against the Carthage Eagles that he would like to see the remaining players who are yet to feature in Egypt to also have the opportunity to do so.

Akpeyi has kept in five of the six games in Egypt, and he was able to keep two clean sheets while letting in five goals in those encounters.
