Chippa United head coach Luc Eymael has dismissed suggestions of a fallout with Stanley Nwabali, after the Nigeria goalkeeper’s recent absence sparked speculation about his future.

Nwabali missed last week’s 2-1 defeat to Polokwane, with Eymael initially hinting at “issues” within the squad.

That fuelled rumours of unrest, amid reports linking the 29-year-old with clubs across Africa and Europe.

But the Super Eagles goalkeeper returned to the starting line-up against Sekhukhune, where he produced a last-minute penalty save to secure a 1-1 draw.

Eymael later moved to clarify the situation, insisting there had been a miscommunication.
