The game is however a dead rubber game as Nigeria have already crashed out of the race to 2017 AFCON.

Iwobi has been ruled out for four weeks due to an injury sustained in Arsenal’s opening day defeat to Liverpool.

The forward last year broke into the Arsenal team and is expected to be a major part of Arsene Wenger’s side this seasons.
