Nosa Igiebor Racing To Be Fit For Champions League Tie Vs Chelsea

Nosa Igiebor faces a late fitness test ahead of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Premier League game against Ironi Kiryat Shmona on Saturday.

All through this week, the Super Eagle has been struggling to overcome a knee complaint but has participated in the last two training sessions .

With one eye on their Champions League meeting with Chelsea in London next Wednesday, manager Slavia Jokanovi� may decide to rest the Nigerian, with Israeli U21 international Dor Peretz expected to take his place in the starting XI.

After two rounds in the top flight, Nosa Igiebor has not suited up for The Yellows in the Premier League due to fitness concerns.

The 24 - year - old has featured in 6 Champions League qualifying fixtures so far this season, scoring twice against Maltese champions Hibernians.
