Napoli's star striker, Victor Osimhen, renowned for his prowess on the pitch, is now faced with the unfortunate circumstance of missing out on the crucial double-header of the 2026 World Cup Qualifications. These highly anticipated matches pit Nigeria against South Africa and the Squirrel of Benin Republic. Osimhen's absence from these pivotal games could prove to be a significant setback for Nigeria's Super Eagles as they gear up for the upcoming FIFA World Cup qualifier.


The news of Osimhen's absence comes as a blow to the Nigerian team's preparation efforts, casting a shadow of uncertainty over their prospects in the qualifiers. With Osimhen being a key player in the team's offensive strategy, his absence leaves a notable void in the squad.


According to reports emanating from the team camp, Osimhen, who recently made a return to action for Napoli, has been sidelined once again due to injury. This setback is expected to keep him out of action for a duration of four weeks, further exacerbating the concerns surrounding his availability for the crucial matches.


Osimhen's battle with injury in recent weeks has been a cause for concern among fans and team management alike. Despite his valiant efforts to return to action and contribute to the team's success, the recurring nature of his injury has necessitated a period of rest and recuperation.


In light of Osimhen's unfortunate predicament, the team's coach, Finidi George, has taken proactive measures to bolster the squad's defensive capabilities. As part of this strategy, George has extended an invitation to Kenneth Igboke, a talented right-back currently plying his trade with Enugu Rangers. Igboke's inclusion in the squad is aimed at providing additional depth and versatility to the team's defensive lineup, ensuring that they are well-equipped to face the challenges ahead.
