Nosa Igiebor Fails Late Fitness test, To Miss Malaga Clash

It is now confirmed that Nosa Igiebor has been ruled out of Real Betis showdown with Malaga on Sunday.

The Nigeria international spent a few minutes on the pitch in the last workout but has been dropped by manager Pepe Mel for the tie at Estadio La Rosaleda due to a groin discomfort.

The same ailment made the 22 - year - old miss the mid-week La Liga clash with Levante.

All through the week, club medics did their best to get Nosa back to shape without success.

And a late fitness test before the squad was announced on Saturday did not give a positive signal.

This season, the Nigeria international has made 7 appearances in the Primera Division.
