Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has confirmed that his team has a goalkeeping problem ahead of this summer’s FIFA World Cup in Russia.

The Franco-German tactician was speaking with reporters ahead of Super Eagles friendly with Poland and Serbia on Friday and Tuesday respectively.

He further traced the problem back to the absence of former 1st choice goalkeeper Carl Ikeme who was diagnosed with Leukaemia.

When asked about the goalkeeping situation in his team, Rohr said: “It is true. Our problem is Ikeme’s illness (he was diagnosed with leukemia).”
