Arsenal Nigerian Striker Faces Late Fitness Test Ahead Of Tuesday Night Game

Chuba Akpom will be assessed by Brighton & Hove Albion medical team before their trip to the New York Stadium where they face relegation-threatened Rotherham United in the EFL Championship on Tuesday night.

The England youth international was not available for selection for last weekend’s 3-0 loss at Nottingham Forest because of a knee injury.

The Arsenal loanee has six appearances under his belt for the Seagulls since his arrival at club in the January transfer window.

Canada international Sam Adekugbe and England U20 defender Fikayo Tomori are the other players of Nigerian descent currently on the payroll of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Chris Hughton’s side sit second on the Championship table with 65 points in the kitty.
