The midfielder is also yet to make an appearance for his Saudi club Al-Adalah.

“Onazi, good player. Whether he’s still good and can play at that level, we don’t know,” Eguavoen told journalists.
“But that’s why I said to pacify everybody, to ensure there’s harmony here, put him on the standby. While he’s on the standby, I have the final say.”
