Is it injury. Or the Benin people gave the right test result or Wat. …or the Nigeria test report is oluwole ni. More information pls.
My thoughts as well @Olu. What injury did he sustain after 2 training sessions on return that made him miss out on match day squad but back to fitness in a week time? Me thinks Everton played safe by insisting on him quarantine for 7 days on return and repeat the covid test thereafter before allowing him to train with the team. They simply do not believe the covid result done in Nigeria.
So which of the report is correct? Nigeria or Benin?
Do you think he will be allowed into England if he was actually positive. Even picnic had to press some buttons before he could be allowed into Nigeria. I think everton deemed it important to observe every necessary measure, at least clear every doubt.
