Akpeyi backs Nwabali for Eagles recall as he impresses in South Africa

Former Super Eagles goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has expressed support for Stanley Nwabali's return to Chippa United, potentially paving the way for his recall to the national team.

Former Super Eagles and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi backs Stanley Nwabali's return to South African side Chippa United as a stepping stone for his potential recall to the national team. The 38-year-old Akpeyi, who currently plays for Mamelodi Sundowns, believes Nwabalis recent performances could convince coach Jose Peseiro to bring him back into the fold. If successful, it could pave the way for Akpeyi's return to international football after being left out of the team since 2020. A comeback would be a significant boost to Nigerian football.
