Chuka and Amaka Iwobi, parents of Nigeria’s Super Eagles forward, Alex Iwobi, arrived in Volgograd on Wednesday night, ahead of the Arsenal star’s World Cup game against Iceland on Friday.

The player’s father, Chuka, his mother, Amaka, and his sister, Marie, reportedly came into the city via an Aeroflot flight from Moscow.

The Iwobis came to town to cheer their son in a must-win game against Iceland in order to keep alive their World Cup hopes.

Nigeria lost 2-0 against Croatia in their opening game in Kaliningrad last Saturday with many fans criticising coach Gernot Rohr for deploying Alex in a more defensive role.

But the German praised the 22-year-old for maintaining a balance between his offensive and defensive play.
