Osimhen's injury sidelines him from Nigeria's World Cup qualifiers

Posted : 29 May 2024

Victor Osimhen's absence from Nigeria's World Cup qualifiers is a significant blow, especially considering his crucial role as Napoli's top scorer in the final stages of the Serie A season.

 

In the match against Lecce, Osimhen's appearance was brief, entering the field as a second-half substitute, signaling his ongoing struggle with muscle fatigue.

 

Although the precise details of Osimhen's injury remain undisclosed, the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles, have officially confirmed his unavailability for the upcoming matches.

 

With a recovery period estimated at four weeks, Osimhen will miss the crucial matches against South Africa and Benin, leaving a notable void in Nigeria's attacking lineup.

 

To compensate for Osimhen's absence, Kenneth Igboke of Enugu Rangers has been called up, tasked with strengthening the defensive ranks of the Super Eagles.

 

However, Nigeria's squad still boasts representation from Serie A, with talents like Ademola Lookman from Atalanta and Samuel Chukwueze from Milan expected to step up and contribute to the team's efforts.

 

Despite the setback caused by Osimhen's injury, Nigeria remains determined to field a competitive lineup and secure positive results in their quest for World Cup qualification.
