Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has been rushed to the hospital after suffering from food poisoning during preparation for Nigeria's AFCON qualifier against Egypt.
The 19-year-old linked up with his team mates in Abuja on Monday.
However, he’s been unable to train to date after suffering from food poisoning which has necessitated him to be hospitalized.
MTN Football claims Iwobi felt ill after eating a salad with the rest of the Nigeria team and his father has since visited him in hospital.
The news was confirmed by Nigeria coach Samson Siasia.
‘He suffered from food positioning and so was not part of training,’ he said.
‘His condition is stable.’
Iwobi's participation in Nigeria’s African Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt on Friday night now looks bleak.
