Sparta Rotterdam manager Henk Fraser wants Maduka Okoye to make an early return from the Africa Cup of Nations, reports Completesports.com.
Okoye is expected to be named in Nigeria’s squad for the competition scheduled to start in Cameroon on January 9, 2022.
Sparta Rotterdam have struggled in the Eredivisie this season and have won just two of their last 13 league games.

The modest club currently occupy 17th position on the table and need to improve in their performance to avoid the drop.
The 22-year-old will miss three league games should Nigeria get to the final of the AFCON.
“I understand that the final of the Africa Cup and the Rotterdam derby will be on the same date,” Fraser told FCUpdate.
“I think he will go there, but he owes it to Sparta. So I think he’s nice after the first, maybe should come home in the second round.”

Bad belly Coach!
All those clubs didn’t want anything good for African players.
What crass unprofessional wishes! Okoye is first of all a Nigerian, Mr Coach.
I don’t know why my spirit doesn’t accept this goal keeper he concedes goals against every tom and dick in the lowly bottom of the dutch league. After Enyeama and Ikeme the rest are jokes Alloy Agu is a terrible choice for not going further to discover other options. The fact that we see all this hype doesn’t make sense because just yesterday he chop another goal against waalwijk yet we see local news hyping. Change is coming!!!
