Super Eagles’ first choice
goalkeeper Carl Ikeme has lost his place in goal at Wolverhampton Wanderers to
Arsenal loanee Emiliano Martinez.
Ikeme who is seen as the replacement of the retired Vincent Enyeama
has not found a consistent run of good form this season and Wolves coach Kenny
Jackett dropped Ikeme for Martinez.
Coach Jackett has however
assured Ikeme that he would regain his place in the team if he can impress in
training and in any match he could be called upon.
He said: “Carl is a very good goalkeeper but at
the moment we are looking to build and add if we can. We are not looking to
decrease the club,” Jackett told the Express & Star.
“From us it is a case of
head down, work for the club, work for Wolves and do our best to make sure the
club is successful. Does he have to wait for his opportunity? “Yes – and do
well enough in training to keep the pressure on the other player, that is what
football is all about.”
