Real Betis Want Nosa Back In Spain

Nosa Igiebor is a major doubt to play for Real Betis in their weekend clash with Espanyol at the Estadi Cornellà-El Prat.

Coach Pepe Mel had intentions of fielding Nosa against the Barcelona based side, but the Super Eagle is still holed up in Nigeria celebrating the country's victory at the African Cup of Nations.

Nosa's agent Atta Aneke has told allnigeriasoccer.com that he is not sure when his client will arrive Seville from Abuja.

Real Betis desperately need Nosa back in Spain due to the injury of Salva Sevilla. The 28 - year - old midfielder has been ruled out of action for a month after undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

Nosa Igiebor, a summer arrival from Hapoel Tel Aviv, has played nine matches for Betis in Spain's  Primera División.
