Swedish side AIK has revealed that Nigerian team sensation won’t be honouring the invitation to be a a part of the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament in London, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Zadok was handed his maiden invitation to the Nigerian team, but a statement from AIK says he won’t be honouring the invitation, because he is still recuperating from the injury he picked up a few days ago.
Below is the statement on their official website.
AIK Football is proud of Zadok Yohanna who has been selected for the Nigerian national team for their participation in the Unity Cup in London. However, Zadok is in an important final stage of his rehabilitation and the club has therefore decided not to release him on national team duty this time.
AIK Football is happy and proud that Zadok Yohanna has been selected for the Nigerian national team for the Unity Cup, which will be played in London between May 26-30, 2026. The decision not to let him travel to London is based partly on the fact that he is in rehabilitation, but also on sporting reasons, as Zadok is an important player for AIK Football.
We look forward to seeing Zadok represent the Nigerian national team in the future.
