Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles’ technical adviser, has invited Daniel Akpeyi, South Africa-based goalkeeper to replace Carl Ikeme, who has been ruled out of the Algeria encounter as a result of injury.
Ikeme sustained injuries while featuring for his Wolverhampton Wanderers club on Saturday.
Akpey stars for Chippa United in South Africa. He was in the Nigerian U-20 squad that finished as runners-up at the 2005 FIFA World Cup in The Netherlands.
He was also in the bronze-winning team at the recent edition of the Olympics football tournament in Brazil.
