Chido Obi, a 17-year-old forward recently signed by Manchester United from Arsenal's academy, cannot participate in the Europa League clash against Real Sociedad due to eligibility rules. Despite impressive performances in domestic matches, Obi's late registration and recent promotion from youth levels prevent him from being named on the squad. His inclusion in the team has sparked fan interest, especially after Amad Diallo's injury, which opened opportunities for younger players like Obi. He may be eligible for future competitions after he has been with the club longer.
Manchester United fans will have to wait a few days to see more of teenage forward Chido Obi, with the 17-year-old ineligible to feature in this week's Europa League clash with Real Sociedad.
Typically, young players aged 21 or under can be named on a more fluid 'B' list, but only if they have been at their club for two years, which Obi has not given his relatively recent arrival.
