Snapped : 21yo Nigeria-eligible centre-back involved in West Ham's final workout pre-Arsenal
Published: May 01, 20222001-born central defender of Nigeria descent, Ajibola Alese was involved in West Ham United's final training session on Saturday ahead of their Premier League match against Arsenal, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The England youth intentional has climbed up the pecking order of centre-backs at the Hammers for the visit of Arsenal, with Issa Diop and Angelo Ogbonna sidelined by injuries.
In addition, Craig
Dawson is serving a one-match suspension after he was red carded in
their last top-flight game against Chelsea.
Manager David Moyes observed Alese at close quarters during the training session at Rush Green Training Ground, London with a view to his inclusion in the matchday squad.
The Scottish football tactician has a tough decision to make, whether to name the Anglo-Nigerian in the starting lineup, utilize him off the bench, or leave him out entirely, with an eye on the upcoming Europa League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Alese has been summoned for ten Premier League matches in 2021-2022 without getting minutes, most recently against Chelsea last weekend.
The Anglo-Nigerian and his West Ham teammates wore t-shirts in support of Saint Francis Hospice in training on Saturday (as pictured).
