Aribo Ends Speculation Over Availability For Brazil Friendly, Jets Off To Singapore With Solomon-Otabor
Published: October 08, 2019Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Glasgow Rangers star Joe Aribo has ended speculation over his availability for Sunday's international friendly against Brazil.
As at the time of writing this report, the versatile midfielder was at the airport waiting to board a flight to Singapore.
About two weeks ago, Aribo had emerged as a doubt for the trip to Asia after he suffered a head injury in Rangers' 1-0 win over Livingston in the Scottish League Cup.
The 23-year-old will be accompanied on the trip to Singapore by his childhood friend, CSKA Sofia's Viv Solomon-Otabor, who was handed a late call-up on Sunday as replacement for the injured Samuel Kalu.
Aribo made a dream debut against Ukraine, scoring after three minutes as the Super Eagles were forced to a 2-2 draw by the European nation and will be aiming to impress manager Gernot Rohr on Sunday if he gets game time.
Born in London, he remains eligible to represent England until he makes a competitive appearance for Nigeria, which could happen next month against Benin in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
