League Cup Team News: Iwobi Doubtful; Ndidi Suspended; Iheanacho, Akpom, Tosin In Contention

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Alex Iwobi is a huge doubt to suit up for Arsenal when they face West Ham United in the quarterfinals of the League Cup at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

Television images suggested that the Hale End Academy graduate picked up a knock in the second half of the Gunners Premier League clash against Newcastle United this past weekend, and there has not been any official update from the club as regards to the gravity of his injury.

Iwobi sat out Arsenal's final training session on Monday, fueling speculation that all is not well with the number seventeen or Wenger has decided to rest him with an eye on the upcoming fixture against Liverpool this Friday.

Chuba Akpom is in contention to make his second appearance in the League Cup this season, having trained with the first-teamers yesterday.

In tonight's second quarterfinal at the King Power Stadium, Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi's suspension as a result of the red card he received against Crystal Palace counts for all domestic competitions, so he has no chance of featuring against the Citizens but teammates Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa could play a part.

Central defender Tosin Adarabioyo is expected to make Man City's match day squad.
