Akpeyi gets eagles chance as injury knocks ikeme out

It seems like you're referring to a recent development in Nigerian football!

According to reports, Daniel Akpeyi has been called up to the Super Eagles squad after Carl Ikeme was ruled out due to an injury. Ikeme, the regular goalkeeper for the team, suffered a shoulder injury that will keep him out of action for an extended period.

Akpeyi, who plays for Chippa United in the South African Premier Division, has been drafted in as a replacement for Ikeme. This is a significant opportunity for Akpeyi to prove himself at the international level and stake a claim for the number one spot in the Super Eagles goalkeeping department.

The injury to Ikeme is a setback for the team, but the coaches will be hoping that Akpeyi can step up and provide a solid performance in goal. The Super Eagles have a busy schedule ahead, with several important matches lined up in the coming weeks.

Do you think Akpeyi can fill the void left by Ikeme's injury, or will it be a challenge for him to adapt to the international stage?
