Arsenal fans can exhale, because their young stud of a striker is perfectly healthy and ready to return to football. Despite being hospitalized for a bad case of food poisoning, Alex Iwobi has now been released and is on his way to join up with the Nigeria senior team.
According to the Mirror, despite multiple caps with England’s Under- squads, Iwobi turned down an offer from the FA to join the Three Lions and will instead pledge his allegiance to his native Nigeria.
