**Breaking News: Eric Chelle Ditches Nwabali, Names 23-Man Squad for Super Eagles Friendly Matches** In a surprising move, Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has left out first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali from his 23-man squad for upcoming international friendlies against Iran and Jordan. This decision comes after Nwabali's sudden departure from Chippa United in February, leaving him without a club. Nwabali, once a key figure in the Super Eagles, has now been replaced by other talented goalkeepers vying for the national team spot. This development has opened a window of opportunity for other goalkeepers to stake their claim and prove themselves. So, who made the cut?
