Arsenal forward, Alex Iwobi, has
withdrawn from next Friday’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in Uyo.
According to the Nigeria Football
Federation (NFF), Iwobi has suffered a thigh muscle strain.
The 21-year-old will also miss
the September 4 showdown against African champions Cameroon in Yaounde.
Iwobi was due to join the Super
Eagles training camp on Monday, after Arsenal’s Premier League game at
Liverpool on Sunday.
He featured in Nigeria’s first
two World Cup qualifiers against Zambia and Algeria, scoring in a 2-1 win in
Zambia in October last year.
He has been replaced by CSKA
Moscow striker Aaron Samuel, who was placed on standby last week.
