The reason Irish-Nigerian wonderkid has been left out of West Ham squad versus Glasgow Celtic
Published: July 24, 2021Irish-Nigerian wonderkid Mipo Odubeko was left out of West Ham's
traveling party to Glasgow for their pre-season friendly against
Scottish Premiership giants Celtic on Saturday afternoon.
Allnigeriasoccer.com
can exclusively report that Hammers boss David Moyes decided to erase
his name from the list of players he took to Celtic due to fitness
issues.
Odubeko had been in line to face
Celtic, only for the talented teenage striker to suffer a minor head
collision in training on Thursday, July 22.
The
former Manchester United schoolboy started the friendly between West
Ham and Northampton Town eleven days ago, before playing for half an
hour against Reading on Wednesday.
This
coming season, Odubeko is aiming to build on his brilliant form for West
Ham youth teams in 2020-2021 that saw him score a remarkable 10 goals
in nine matches in the Premier League 2.
The
18-year-old was on the periphery of the first team last season, making
the matchday squad for Premier League games on eighteen occasions and
featured in two FA Cup games.
