Nigeria striker Nwankwo Kanu has a groin problem
|
West Bromwich Albion's Nigerian striker Nwankwo Kanu is struggling to be fit to face his former club Arsenal in the English Premiership on Saturday.
Kanu is suffering from a groin strain which threatens to rule him out of an emotional return to Arsenal, where he spent four years of his career.
Kanu said: "It will be nice to go back there and see a lot of old friends,
but I am struggling at the moment.
"I spoke to some of the Arsenal boys and told them I wouldn't be there
because I was injured, which they laughed at.
"But I hope I will see them there on Saturday. If I go back to Highbury it
will be something special for me."
