second leg tie at the Emirates today. But his
national team captain, Joseph Yobo was left
out of the 19-man squad.

Yobo who was a 90 minute feature in the
first leg 3-0 loss missed the domestic home
fixture against Eski?ehirspor that ended 1-0
in favor of Fenerbahce on Saturday.
Reasons for his exclusion were yet to be
made public by the club but feelers have it
that the 33-year old defender may have
picked up a slight knock during the first leg
encounter.
Meanwhile Emenike who made his second
start for the Istanbul club in the lone goal
victory was on duty for 83 minutes before
being taken off for Mousa Sow.
Emenike and his team-mates who departed
for North London on Monday afternoon
have an uphill task of overturning a three
goal deficit against a resurgent Gunners
side that thrashed Fulham 3-1 at Craven
Cottage to secure their first win of the new
EPL season.
