Nigeria’s first choice goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho has been suspended for time wasting ahead of Super Eagles clash with Leone Stars on Matchday 5 of the 2023 AFCON qualifiers billed for June.
The goalkeeper got a yellow card in the added time of Monday’s encounter with Guinea Bissau. That was his second caution having been earlier given a yellow card in the opening game with Sierra Leone last June.
Coincidentally, both cautions came late into the matches and for the same offence – time wasting. The coach said that just as he was able to get a replacement for similarly excluded Ola Aina in the squad, he will have replacements for him (Uzoho).
Francis Odinaka Uzoho is Nigerian Professional Footballer born on the 28th October, 1998 in Imo State, an Eastern Region in Nigeria.
As a 14 Years old, Francis Uzoho began pursuing a career in football, joining Nigerian Amateur side, Aspire Academy in 2013. The Shotstopper initially Began his career as an Attacker but was converted into a Goalkeeper after he was deemed too slow to perform as a Forward.
