Super Eagles coach, Sunday Ogorchukwu Oliseh has handed a late invitation to Enyimba FC shot-stopper, Femi Thomas as replacement to Vincent Enyeama who pulled out of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.

Oliseh, after much deliberation on the development told journalists at a media parley in Abuja on Wednesday that the situation is under control.

“Femi Thomas has been called up as late replacement for Vincent Enyeama, so there is no cause for alarm. We won’t allow that to cause distraction because we already have a mandate”, Oliseh said.

It was gathered Enyeama did ask to be exonerated from the Tanzania tie in order to attend to pressing family issue.

Thomas now join up with Wolvehampton Wanderers of England Carl Ikeme and Sunshine Stars’ Ikechukwu Ezenwa for the trip.

Ikeme and Ezenwa are said to have impressed the Nigerian national team selectors, who are yet to make a decision on who gets the nod in the absence of Enyeama before the team flies out to Dar es Salaam on Thursday.
