Super Eagles and Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi to undergo another COVID-19 test ahead of Lesotho game

Super Eagles’ Alex Iwobi To Undergo Another COVID-19 Test

Last updated Mar 29, 2021

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is set to carry out another test for Everton forward, Alex Iwobi, who tested positive for COVID-19 on arrival at Porto Novo ahead of last Saturday’s AFCON qualifier against the Benin Republic.

The Nigerian was sent back to Lagos to isolate immediately after the result of the COVID-19 test was revealed in the Super Eagles camp.

The player is already isolated in Lagos and is expected to undergo another test today to confirm the authenticity of the previous test in Benin.

The NFF said they won’t accept the Benin Republic test until a new confirmation is revealed in Lagos. If he tests negative, he will be part of the Lesotho game.
