Swedish side AIK has prevented rising star Zadok Yohanna from joining the Super Eagles for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London, sources confirm.
The 18-year-old winger was among the fresh faces called up by head coach Eric Chelle for the international friendly competition. However, a hamstring injury sustained during a match for AIK two weeks ago has complicated his availability.
Still in recovery, Yohanna is expected to resume full training before the month ends. AIK officials stated that the decision to withdraw him from the Unity Cup is based on both sporting considerations and the player’s health.
Despite the setback, the youngster has impressed this season, scoring twice and providing three assists in seven league appearances for the Gnaget.
