I have watched the highlights on youtube.Ariball score two and set up one.He has been churning out good performances of recent. Seems to have overcome the psychological effects of his last injury. So for now Ndidi vs Aribo Combo is the Anointed midfield SE can rely on. Who can replace them in case of imjury remains Rohr’s headache.
