Alex Iwobi was surprisingly missing in the squad of Everton in their 3-0 win over Salford City in the Carabao Cup with rumors having it that he has been told he can leave the club in this transfer window.
Iwobi who was a record buy from Arsenal last summer was also not listed for action last weekend when they secure a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in their opening English Premier League fixture.
Explaining the absence of Iwobi from the two games the Carlo Ancelotti tutored side have played this season, a member of his representative told Owngoalnigeria.com that he is out with a knock picked up in training.
“ He is injures at moment. A minor injury but it stopped him from training the past few days so it won’t be wise to put him in the line up for the Carabao Cup game. He will get games as he is highly rated by Ancelotti”, he said.
“ No substance to the report that he has been told he can leave. Some of the players mentioned are still at the club and some even played in the win over Salford City. That should tell you a lot”.
