Photos: Footballer Alex Iwobi Now Fit After Food Poison, Trains With Super Eagles

The Gunners’ s£nsat!on has commenced training with Siasia’s men ahead of Friday Afcon qualifier against Egypt

Arsenal's Alex Iwobi trained with Nigeria on Tuesday evening, shrugging off the food poisoning that sidelined him earlier in the day.

The 19-year-old's presence at the Super Eagles training put an end to reports that he was still mulling an England decision.

However, while the team trained together, Iwobi worked with the team's physio as he tried to build up stamina.

He walked around the pitch a few times before he was put through aerobic exercises and light ball juggling.

Nigeria would hope that the youngster gets his energy levels back in order that he might reprise his recent form at Arsenal.

Iwobi scored his first senior Arsenal goal against Everton in a 2-0 victory on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria squad has it's full complement of players on Tuesday except full back Elderson Echiejile who is still expected to arrive.
