Africa Press-Nigeria:

The 34-year-old goalkeeper returns to Super Eagles’ fold for next month’s African Cup of Nations double-header qualifiers against the Leone Stars Nigeria goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has been recalled for November’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Sierra Leone.

The veteran Super Eagles stopper’s last game for the country was against Lesotho on November 17, 2019, when Victor Osimhen’s brace led the West African giants to a 4-2 triumph at Setsoto Stadium, Maseru.

The Kaizer Chiefs star was excluded from Gernot Rohr’s team that faced reigning African champions Algeria and Tunisia in October’s international friendlies owing to injury.

However, he has been invited to compete for a starter’s shirt when the three-time African champions take on the Leone Stars enroute qualification for Cameroon 2022.
