Iwobi out for 30 days, Tanzania tie

By Rasaq Oboirien
ALEX IWOBI is set to be on the sidelines for as little as 30days, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
The Super Eagles ace picked up a thigh injury during Arsenal's 3-4 home loss to Liverpool on Sunday.
Iwobi, 20year old, is now likely to miss the next two Premier League games away at Leicester, Watford and Nigeria's African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying home games against Tanzania Taifia Stars on  September 2nd.
The two-week international break is likely to allow him time to be fit to face Southampton at The Emirates on September 10 and be invited by Nigeria's national team German coach, Gernot Rohr for the Russia 2018 World Cup Africa qualifiers against Zambia's Chipolopolo on October 3rd in Lusaka.
Recall, the Nigerian set up Theo Walcott to score the Gunners first goal.
