We won’t release you to Nigeria for AFCON – Al Shabab to Ighalo

Saudi Arabia club, Al Shabab has reportedly said Nigerian forward Odion Ighalo will not be allowed to get together with the senior public group of Nigeria for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

According to Naija Sports, the club previously educated Ighalo regarding their choice to clutch him during the AFCON time frame utilizing the late appearance of his invitation letter from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) as their reason.

They guaranteed they didn’t accept his invitation letter inside the days specified by FIFA for clubs to be informed with regards to their players disappearing for a tournament with their public group.

It’s a comparative reason English Premier League side Watford gave on one more Nigerian player in Emmanuel Dennis before the player chose not to respect the call up. Very much like Dennis, it’s currently dependent upon Ighalo to choose if he needs to be at the tournament or not.
