The 22-year-old forward did not join the first-team squad due to legal issues. The player did not have a Schengen visa, which prevented him from going to Spain with the team.
Itodo was on the field in the sparring match of the Metalist 1925 U-19 youth team against Karpaty U-19, but he was not present at the first team meeting. There is a risk that the club will not have time to resolve all formal issues before the team’s return from the Pyrenees.
The Nigerian striker has been playing for the Kharkiv club since August 2025, his contract runs until June 2029. In the current season, Itodo played 11 matches in the Premier League, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. In total, he played 15 matches in all tournaments and scored 7 goals. His transfer value is 1.2 million euros.
