This is the worst news we could expect now..we need these our 25 players injury free.
I pray it is not that serious bro,but our coaches have to look for this boy called arinze okafor of fc Basel of swizerland
You guys bring out new names everyday
Arinze Noah Okafor is a left winger and not a centre back though.
Every day new names and new players,do you want to kill our coach, let us manage the once we have for now
