Brentford-bound Super Eagles star left out of Midtjylland squad with exit looming

Published: June 26, 2021

Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland have dropped the biggest hint yet that Frank Onyeka is not in the plans of new manager Bo Henriksen for the forthcoming season, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Super Eagles midfielder has been omitted from Midtjylland's traveling party to Sweden, where they face Allsvenskan table-toppers Malmo in a friendly on Sunday, June 27.

In one of the worst-kept secrets involving a player of Nigerian descent in the summer transfer window, Onyeka looks set to be announced as a player of English Premier League new boys Brentford in the coming days.

Onyeka pulled out of the Nigeria squad for their international friendlies this month so was due to report for pre-season training but has not showed up yet and there are no explanations from The Wolves why he has been absent.

His last match as a player of Midtjylland was against Aarhus GF on the final day of the 2020-2021 campaign.

Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika, one of the players tipped to replace Onyeka in the Midtjylland first team in 2021-2022, is among the 21 players taken to Sweden by coach Bo Henriksen.
