A super Eagles defender, Efe Ambrose, has warned Crystal Palace goalkeeper Owen Goodman over his decision to snub an invitation from the Flying Eagles of Nigeria.
Owen was invited by Coach Ladan Bosso to join other teenagers for training ahead of the AFCON Tournament in Egypt, but he declined; and sources also revealed that he has joined the England U-19 squad.
Reacting to snub, Ambrose stated that if the teenager fails to break into the English squad he may regret not joining Nigeria.
“He could regret it because it’s the door to becoming the first choice Goalkeeper of the senior national team,” he told Owngoal Nigeria.
“presently there’s is no much competition in that department and a strong showing at the tournament would have opened the door for him to be part of the setup almost immediately.”
“He missed a trick that could backfire,” he added.
