Nigeria vs Lesotho: Iwobi’s COVID-19 result fake – Rohr

iexclusive News Nigeria reports that Alex Iwobi COVID-19 test result that prevented him from participating for Nigeria in the African Cup of Nations qualifying game against Benin Republic Saturday is fake,

 

Rohr said that the midfielder will be fielded against Lesotho on Tuesday in the last match of the AFCON qualifiers.

 

This online news medium recall that Nigeria booked their place in Cameroon even before the kick off of the match against Benin Republic on Saturday following the goalless draw in an earlier game between Lesotho and Sierra Leone.

 

Iwobi, who was listed in Rohr’s XI for the game against Squirrels was withdrawn before filing out after he was said to have tested positive for COVID-19.

“A second test has been taken and result due soon. Rohr tells me he’s confident Iwobi will play on Tuesday”.
