Super Eagles: Iwobi, Iheanacho To WearNew Shirt Numbers
The shirt number he
usually wore for Arsenal number 17 belongs to Eddy Onazi in the Nigeria
senior senior team, forcing him to a change of number, which has seen
him alternate between jersey 19, 20 and 18.
Iwobi first wore
jersey number 19 in his first two games for Nigeria, which were the
friendly games against Congo DR and Cameroon.
However he made his
debut for Nigeria in a different jersey against Egypt in the two legged
AFCON 2017 qualifiers where he made his competitive debut for Nigeria
over both legs in jersey number 18.
Just when it
appears he has settled for the shirt number he played in jersey number
20 during the Super Eagles last friendly ties against Mali and
Luxembourg.
Owngoalnigeria.com
checks at the training of the Super Eagles can however reveal that he
has been training in jersey number 18 and it appears like he has settled
for it.
Meanwhile Iheanacho
who has also switched between jersey number 8 and 18 in the past, has
been training in shirt number 14, same number he wore during the last
qualifying tie against Tanzania.
