Fulham midfielder Alex Iwobi has declared himself fit and ready for Nigeria’s June friendlies against Poland and Portugal, handing Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle a welcome boost ahead of what promises to be the most demanding tests of his reign, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.

Iwobi had been a fitness concern after sustaining a hamstring injury against Brentford in April, but the 30-year-old recovered to start Fulham’s final two Premier League matches and has confirmed he is in good shape for the international window.

“I’m grateful to be back fit after injury,” Iwobi said on the Alexander Yaa Digg podcast.

“I was able to finish the season feeling good. Of course, I’ve got to get ready for the international break, but I have a little time off to refresh.”
