The coach of Cyprus side Omonia Nicosia Sofronis Avgousti has praised the form of Nigeria international goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, who is set to continue in goal again when they take on Karmiotissa in the league later today, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Uzoho covered himself in glory in his start for the club last weekend with his man of the match performance ensuring that they picked up a 2-0 win over Nea Salami.
Ahead of their game against Karmiotissa, the coach confirmed that regular first choice goalkeeper Fabiano is still unavailable and he has absolute faith in the Nigerian to post another top showing.
” We have seen him (Uzoho) moved up a level in terms of preparation and training for games. Sometimes you are at your best when you get games and he has that now. So you will see a different Uzoho next year”, he said in the pre match conference.
He however stayed silent when asked about reports linking the club with a move for another goalkeeper in the wake of the fact that the Nigerian will be away in January for the Africa Cup of Nations, and Fabiano possibly not fit.
” Getting someone is something that we will look at and we are already looking at possible options. However it all depends on the recovery of Fabiano and if Uzoho goes to the AFCON”, he concluded.
