5-Star Uzoho Leads Europa League Player of the Week Nominations

October, 14 2022.

Super Eagles Goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho has been selected alongside three other players for Europa League Player of the week award.

The Omonia goalkeeper produced an inspired perfomance to keep Manchester United at bay at Old Trafford before a late strike decided the game.

Uzoho made 12 saves against Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford, Casemiro amongst others in a performance that attracted accolades for him from both Omonia and opposition fans across the world.

He will slug it out for the prize against Sporting Braga's hattick hero, Vitinha Oliveira, Joey Veerman of PSV (scored a brace) and William Bøving of Sturm Graz, who came off the bench to score a brace too.
