Quiet weekend for Nigeria internationals Olaoluwa Aina, Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis as all three players failed to impact for their club sides in their respective friendlies on Saturday.
The Torino fullback was part of the team camping in Spain but couldn’t make the list for the Granata against Espanyol. Torino went ahead to win the match 1-0 and Ola Aina was no where near the team.
Not so similar story in Greece for Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Amoniyi as both Nottingham Forest striker were brought on as substitutes in their team’s 1-0 defeat to Olympiacos.
Olympiacos took the lead through former Nottingham Forest midfielder Pajtim Kasami. The attacking midfielder rose well to meet the corner from the right and glanced a well-placed header into the bottom corner.
The strikers’ club have now brought the camping at Athens to an end to continue preparation for the remainder of the season back home.
