Everton forward Alex Iwobi, who has tested positive for Coronavirus, has quit the Super Eagles camp in Lagos and will not be available for selection for tomorrow’s final AFCON qualifier against Lesotho, officials said.
Iwobi tested positive in Benin before Saturday’s AFCON clash against the home team, which Nigeria won 1-0.
He traveled back with the rest of the squad from Benin.
“Iwobi has left the camp,” disclosed Eagles spokesman Babafemi Raji.
“Before he left, he did not show any symptoms, he was fine.
“The team will follow up on him.”
Nigeria top Group L with 11 points from five matches and have already qualified for the 2021 AFCON, which will be hosted by Cameroon in January.
They play their final qualifier against bottom team Lesotho in Lagos tomorrow.
