Super Eagles winger Alex Iwobi sustained an injury early in the game as Everton and Arsenal battled to a 0-0 draw in their Premier League clash at theAlex Goodison Park on Saturday.
Iwobi limped off in the 11th minute and was replaced by Cenk Tosun.
It was Iwobi’s 15th league appearance for the Toffees albeit he has scored once.
New Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti and Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta watched the game from the stands.

Ancelotti was confirmed as Marco Silva’s replacement before kick-off, meaning Duncan Ferguson and Freddie Ljungberg remained in caretaker charge of Everton and Arsenal for the last time.
However, there was little for the new men to get excited about, with Jordan Pickford’s smart reflex stop from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s close-range shot six minutes after half-time the closest either side came to scoring.

And there I was expecting Iwobi to bite the fingers that used to feed with him by hurting Arsenal for only his second goal of the season.
Unfortunately it was not not meant to be as the Super Eagles hard working midfielder had to make way earlier than expected due to injury.
This is wishing Iwobi a speedy recovery.
