Osimhen to miss Nigeria’s world cup qualifier against South Africa due to injury
Victor Osimhen will miss Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa after picking up an injury in the win over Rwanda.
The striker, who plays for Galatasaray, went off in the first half of the Super Eagles’ 1-0 victory at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Saturday and was replaced by Cyriel Dessers.
Head coach Eric Chelle revealed after the match that Osimhen would be monitored, but an update from team media officer Promise Efoghe confirmed the forward woke up on Sunday with pain in his chin and has now been ruled out of the trip.
The 26-year-old will return to Turkey for further checks and treatment. Nigeria is set to face the Bafana Bafana of South Africa on Tuesday at the Toyota Stadium in Bloemfontein.
