“Following a minor fitness concern subsequent to the Super Eagles’ triumph in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final, Victor Osimhen has resumed training with the Nigeria national team squad on Tuesday.”
“Osimhen was stretchered off as a precautionary measure during injury time of Nigeria’s 1-0 victory over Angola on Friday evening. Recent reports indicated that he had been dealing with an abdominal issue.
As a result, the 25-year-old did not accompany the team to their training base in Bouake, Ivory Coast, on Monday. Instead, he remained in Abidjan with a few members of Nigeria’s medical staff for further medical assessments.
However, Osimhen has since rejoined the Super Eagles squad and participated in training as usual on Tuesday afternoon, as confirmed by a statement from Nigeria’s official social media channels.
Nigeria has also affirmed that Osimhen is fit and ready to start in the semi-final clash against South Africa on Wednesday, scheduled to commence at 17:00 GMT.”
