‘I know my quality’ – Noble not intimidated by Okoye and Uzoho in Nigeria squad

John Noble claims he is in the Nigeria team to give his best, insisting he is not daunted by the presence of Maduka Okoye and Francis Uzoho in the Super Eagles squad.

The gifted Enyimba goalkeeper will challenge the duo for a place in Gernot Rohr’s starting XI when the Super Eagles take on Benin Republic in Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Porto-Novo.
