He wasn’t fit for the first game and it’s simple

Iwobi himself didn't say it so how do you know?

Iwobi: I’m not bothered by Ancelotti’s snub

Shearer hails Iwobi after home debut goal
Bolaji Okunola

Everton winger, Alex Iwobi has hinted he is unbothered for not making coach Carlo Ancelotti’s squad in the English Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur.

Iwobi, whose team walked away with a 0-1 away victory in a tie with Jose Mourinho’s tutored team, was seen flaunting an image involving him and Super Eagles’ teammate, Chidozie Awaziem in a pool side.

Surprisingly, Iwobi a nephew to legendary footballer, Austin Jay Jay Okocha, posted the image on his instagram status few minutes after his side victory.

The post saw him receiving accolades from Awaziem who is presently making wave with Portuguese premier league side, Boavista.

“My guy at Alexanderiwobi,” Awaziem captioned while Iwobi replied with a social media emoji which signifies love.

Meanwhile, fans have been divided on social media over the player’s absence from the registered 18-man squad who silenced the Spurs.

It’s yet unknown if the former Arsenal starlet will make Ancelotti’s squad in next league action against West Bromwich Albion.

Shebi Andrewbaba44 said he is injured

Abeg,which site can I get this info from

I just saw it on someone's tweet

TheSuperNerd:
He hasn't turned out for the Three Lions either.

And he affirms he is Nigerian. So yes we have a Nigerian on the Golden Boy list. Simple as that.

He may be a Nigerian but he is not a Nigerian player, he is undecided for now

barackodam:
Only on this thread someone holds a foreign passport, and doesn't even have a Nigerian one, we tag them Nigerians

Na so, we go dey have arguments, dey collect news on somebody else's property

Osimhen's card has landed

And no, Saka is not a Nigerian in the context of this thread until he decides to play for us

The 40 man list for the golden boy award

Unfortunately no Nigerian made the list

Oforborh played 90 minutes for Bournemouth today

What I could get from that is with the exception of Akpogunma, scooping the other defenders would be a MASSIVE coup for the Super Eagles

In comparison

Chidozie Awaziem 23 years, 6 million
Semi Ajayi 26 years, 4 million
William Troost Ekong 27 years, 3.2 million
Kenneth Omeruo 26 years, 2.4 million

Transfermrkt rating of the German defenders

Jordan Torunarigha 23 years, 13 million
Felix Uduokhai 23 years, 10 million
Kevin Akpogunma 25 years, 4.8 million

Osimhen benched for Napoli opener
18 hours ago

Gennaro Gattuso will reportedly leave Victor Osimhen on the bench to begin with in Napoli’s Serie A season opener with Parma.

The coach was expected to test out his starting XI during a friendly against Sporting CP last night, but that was cancelled at the last minute after the Portuguese team had several COVID-19 positive tests.

According to Radio Kiss Kiss, Napoli will initially leave record-breaking signing Osimhen on the bench against Parma on Sunday.

Instead, it will be a classic 4-3-3 formation with Dries Mertens flanked by Matteo Politano and Lorenzo Insigne.

Osimhen requires more of a 4-2-3-1 system with more players fanning out in support of the Nigerian striker.

Wow Gattuso has already identified the system that best suits Osimhen

timay:
Oga , we will still loose them anyways
The reason is that, if NFF is even organised enough to organise U17 camps regularly. What makes you think they will abandon the thousands of talented U17 kids residing here at home and be pursuing some boy in far away France or England or wherever to bring them to camp. So your point no make any difference which ever way.

We have already taken note of the kid and Rohr has been monitoring him for some time now, what makes you think he won't be invited if an U17 camp is set up?

charlesemeka85:
Lesley Ugochukwu invited to French U17 training camp

These things make us lose foreign born talent, France have an U17 camp and we don't how do you want the kid to deny a career helping opportunity

BascoVanVeli:
That right back for Brighton is 4 good. How did Chelsea let that man get away

They also had a good right back in Reece James

Kepa disasterclass

How does a keeper with such height can't save a full length shot

humility33:
It won't have been different from the likes of others like Eze

Dude would have prefer play for England..and be using Nigeria to cruise and threaten the English FA to fetch a call up
some of us here would have been crying and calling on ROHR and NFF to do all they can to get him for the SE

Komekn would have come here like the English media mouth piece to hype him to high heavens and tell us how is better than all our wingers

One club in England would have been pricing him for 100 million pounds now

And you Mazi Omanambala would have come here to belittle him and pour out your beef with borough boys

You would have come here tell us how poor he is in the field of play and how nwakali and zubby tend to be better than him

1000 likes for you

kellycute:
I'm having the feeling that Nwakali might be call up to the NT in this forthcoming friendly matches and qualifier since aribo won't be available. Some people go put hand for electric if rohr invite Nwakali

Na so them dey call up

TheSuperNerd:
Lol.... Relax man. It was only for the first game. Johnny Evans will return for their next game and Ndidi will resume his DM role.

Evans is suspended for the next 2 games

Danielnino00:
There's some truth to this...

There's no truth to it, Calvert Lewin developed another notch under Ancelotti, Iwobi will develop if he wants to

Hanibal:

Meanwhile James Rodriguez is getting a taste of the premier league

chrisooblog:
hmm well unless a miracle happens I don't see how they're going to avoid going down into the championship.

They'll have to rely heavily on Ajayi and Kipre for points
