The technical adviser of the Nigeria Premier Football League club Akwa United Deji Ayeni has thrown his weight behind the goalkeeper Godgift Elkanah.
The Promise Keeper lost their opening game of the league season 0-2 to Bendel Insurance with errors coming from the goalkeeper.
Akwa United will be the guest of Enyimba FC on Wednesday the match day and they have maintained that ElKannah is a good goalkeeper.
He further said that injured Ubong Friday will be back in the team during matchday 4.
Ubong sustained an injury in the opening game and is already undergoing rehabilitation.
” Elkanna is a good goalkeeper but it’s just unfortunate about the 2 mistakes he had, it cost produced an uncomfortable result.
It doesn’t change anything from the team, he’s still part of our programme if he’s the one that will keep on Wednesday you see him but if there is going to be a change you will see it.
We have quality goalkeepers and any of them can rise to the occasion”, he said.
