His last appearance for the Eagles was in the round of 16 against Tunisia at the 2021 AFCON.

Despite the defeat, the Udinese goalkeeper shared his excitement about donning the national team jersey once again.

“Despite the result I’m more than happy and grateful to have played in this jersey again!

“It has always been, it is and it will forever be an honour to represent Nigeria.”
