The African stars have been included among the substitutes for their respective clubs at Goodison Park
Odion Ighalo, Eric Bailly and Alex Iwobi are on the bench for the Manchester United clash against Everton in Sunday’s Premier League game.
Ighalo delivered a brilliant performance in his first start for the Red Devils in their Europa League win against Belgian side Club Brugge last Thursday, opening his goal account in the encounter.
The former Super Eagles star who has now featured four times for the Old Trafford outfit will, however, continue the wait for this first Premier League start, having been dropped to the bench along with teammate and Ivory Coast international Bailly.
