Toyin Ibitoye, media officer of the national team said the former Enyimba goalkeeper had been replaced by Daniel Akpeyi and won’t be on the plane to South Africa.

“Enyeama will not be travelling with the team because he sustained a back injury and has been excused from the journey while Daniel Akpeyi of Warri Wolves will serve as his replacement. We don’t want him to aggravate his back complaints and it was among the reasons why he won’t be going to South Africa,” Ibitoye said.

Ibitoye noted that the Eagles would miss the invaluable experience of Enyeama but assured that Nigeria won’t be disgraced in Nelspruit on Sunday.
