Europa League Draw: Nigerian players faceoff in Round of 32 ties

Iheanacho and Ndidi will be battling out with Peter Olayinka

While just one Nigerian player was visible in the Round of 16 UEFA Champions League draw on Monday, the country has a handful of representations in the less-fancied Europa League which is now in the Round of 32.

In the draws conducted also on Monday just after the Champions League pairings were concluded, some Nigerian players will be battling themselves for a place in the Round of 16 of the second-tier competition.

Spanish club Granada which has Ramon Azeez in its books has been pitched against Victor Osimhen’s Napoli while the duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi who play for Leicester City will battle against Slavia Prague in their Round of 32 fixture. Peter Olayinka plays for the Czech club and he would fancy his team’s chances against the Foxes.

For some of the other fixtures involving Nigerian players, the duo of Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun who both play for Scottish side Rangers will be facing Belgian club Antwerp.

Elsewhere, two Nigerian players are also expected to be in action for Club Brugge who have been pitched against Dynamo Kyiv.

Also, Leke James’ Molde are pitched against German club Hoffenheim while Samuel Chukwueze’s Villarreal have a tricky clash against Salzburg.
