Goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho once again showed the abilities that made Deportivo La Coruna hand him a first team debut during the Super Eagles first training in Russia.

Nigeria will take on Argentina today, and Uzoho who was on the bench for the 1-1 draw against Algeria on Friday is heavily tipped to be between the post against the Argentines.

He did his chances a whole lot of good this evening when the team had their work out ahead of the game by posting a string of impressive performance during drills with the goalkeeper trainer.

Nineteen year old Uzoho impressed with his reading of ball across the box, same thing Ikechukwu Ezenwa struggled with against Algeria in the 1-1 draw on Friday.

His reflex was also sharp during shooting drills although goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi also showed flashes of the form that has seen him earn rare reviews for PSL side Chippa United, the last few months.
