Official: Las Palmas Star Oghenekaro Etebo Out Of Real Madrid Clash

Oghenekaro Etebo has not sufficiently recovered from a muscle injury and will play no part in Saturday's La Liga match between Las Palmas and Real Madrid at the Estadio de Gran Canaria.

Manager of the Canary Islands based team, Paco Jémez, has omitted the Super Eagles midfielder from the list of eighteen players called up for the match day 30 fixture.

Former Nigeria international Emmanuel Emenike is still on the sidelines and also misses out while Imoh Ezekiel is in line to play his third game for the club, as he has been included in the match day squad.

Etebo was prevented from traveling to Wrocław last week to link up with his international teammates for the friendly against Poland after Las Palmas medics recommended that he should stop all sporting activities.

And he was left out of the match day squad vs Serbia three days ago after failing a fitness test shortly after his arrival in the English capital. 

Prior to the midfielder's spell on the sidelines, he had started all the matches played by Las Palmas in the Spanish top-flight since completing a loan move from Portuguese setup CD Feirense.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Etebo will earn wages of 120,000 euros net (approximately N52.8 million) for the five months he is at Las Palmas and that amount does not include performance-related bonuses.
