Pedro Obiang Equatorial Guinea
Pedro Obiang who has been unavailable for three months worries the Equatorial Guineans. Doctors from his Sassouolo club have indeed recommended him five months of rest because of a lung infection.
A news that has since put a chill in the staff of Nzalang Nacional when we know the place and role occupied by Pedro Obiang. But this Friday, the coach gave reassuring news. “It was he himself who informed me of his illness and his unavailability for five months. But he also assured me that that should not prevent him from playing CAN in Cameroon in a few months or even a few qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. This situation is painful for us. Everyone knows how important Pedro is to our team and our system. The superb work he does in the middle. We hope that he will come back very soon and that he will be ready for the Africa Cup, ” said Juan Micha, Equatorial Guinea coach.
“Pedro Obiang will return to selection”
Juan Micha is also very reassuring to the supporters of the Equatorial Guinean national team. “ You should know that Pedro Obiang is off the field as a precaution. It is not a disease that will prevent him from returning to selection. We hope to see him again very soon because we want to play Can with him ” said the technician.
Born in Spain on March 27, 1992, Pedro Obiang has played several times in the Spanish youth teams.
However, he then chose to defend the colors of his country of origin, Equatorial Guinea . The midfielder has already worn the captain’s armband of Nzalang Nacional.
