The Gunners’ teenage starlet fell ill in the Nigerian capital, but Goal have been told that he should recover in time for Friday’s crucial clash against Egypt
Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi has suffered from food poisoning while on international duty with Nigeria.
Nigeria coach Samson Siasia confirmed the news on Tuesday in a press conference.
He said: “[Iwobi] suffered from food poisoning, so he was not part of training, but his condition is stable.”
The 19-year-old, though, is expected to return to training with his team-mates in the capital city, Abuja, on Tuesday ahead of this week’s vital African Cup of Nations qualifier against Egypt.
Nigeria’s media officer Toyin Ibitoye told our source: “Alex Iwobi is doing better, he had a bit of diarrhoea due to a change of food and environment, but he should train with the squad [on Tuesday] evening at 17.00.”
Iwobi, who started at Camp Nou against Barcelona last week and then scored his first Premier League goal in the win over Everton at the weekend, has previously played two friendly matches for Nigeria.
Had The Maddest Food Poisoning But I Am Good Now & Feeling Ready For The Egyptian Match ✌
