BREAKING: Alex Iwobi Suffers Food Poisoning In Eagles Camp, Hospitalised

Arsenal youngster Alex Iwobi has been
hospitalised in Abuja after he suffered from food
poisoning, according to Nigeria coach Samson
Siasia.
Iwobi, 19, did not train with the rest of the Super
Eagles squad on Tuesday morning ahead of
Friday’s crucial AFCON qualifier against Egypt on
account of the food poisoning.
“He suffered from food poisoning and so was not
part of the training. But his condition is stable,”
disclosed Siasia.
It was further gathered that Iwobi ate a meal of
salad from where he got the problem.
His father, Chuka, who flew with him from
London, has visited the youngster in hospital.
The midfielder has played two friendlies for his
father’s native country, but he has yet to play an
official game since he switched his international
allegiance.
At the weekend, he crowned his first Premier
League debut with a goal in Arsenal 2-0 win at
Everton.
In the meantime, 19 other players trained on
Tuesday morning at the Abuja National Stadium.
They will also train in Kaduna later today.
The players include skipper Ahmed Musa, Mikel
Obi, Carl Ikeme, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Etim
Matthew, Ifeanyi Matthew, Oghenekaro Etebo,
Efe Ambrose, Godfrey Oboabona, Orji Kalu and
Fenando Adi.
Others were Umar Aminu, Aaron Samuel, Moses
Simon, Odion Ighalo, Chibuzor Okonkwo and
Kelechi Iheanacho.
