Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye has reiterated the fact that 19-year old Alex Iwobi will be available for the African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt.
The Arsenal winger, who flew into Nigeria on Sunday, after helping the Gunners beat Everton in last
Saturday's ELP game was reported to have been hospitalised after eating a salad that saw him fall ill from food poisoning.
Nigeria has now moved to declare that the striker is fit for the game against Egypt and that he never suffered from food poisoning.
“Alex Iwobi is on the pitch (as at Tuesday evening when the Super Eagles trained in Kaduna for the second time that day).
“He did not train on Tuesday morning because of a traveller's bug.
“He never suffered from food poisoning,” Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye said.
Iwobi is yet to be capped by Nigeria at senior international level in a competitive fixture.
The 19-year old has also confirmed on his official twitter handle, @alexiwobi, that he's fit for the clash after eating food poisoning in camp.
