Alex Iwobi trained with the first team of Arsenal at London Colney on Friday ahead of the visit of Sunderland in the Premier League on Saturday.
According to allnigeriasoccer.com the 19-year-old might make the bench tomorrow against the Black Cats, with Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla all sidelined through injury.
Iwobi, who is naturally a winger, may slot into midfield if he is given a run – out at the Emirates and has played for the Arsenal U21s in that position in recent games.
The Nigeria international made his Premier League debut for the Gunners in their 3 – 0 win over Swansea at the end of October but has not featured for the first team since then, though he made the bench against Spurs the following week.
