Gyan accuses Osimhen of faking injury to skip Super Eagles vs South Africa match
Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has sparked controversy after accusing Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen of pretending to be injured.
Osimhen was absent from Nigeria’s 1-1 draw against South Africa in the 2026 World Cup qualifier on Tuesday, having left camp earlier to rejoin Galatasaray following a leg problem he reportedly picked up in the Super Eagles’ narrow 1-0 win over Rwanda last weekend. His club later confirmed he had suffered an ankle ligament injury, but Gyan openly questioned the legitimacy of that claim.
Speaking in an interview, the ex-Black Stars striker suggested that Osimhen may have been pressured by his club to avoid further involvement with Nigeria. “I’ve seen these things before,” Gyan said. “Maybe someone at the club told him, ‘We paid a lot for you, the Champions League is coming, we don’t want you risking yourself in Africa. Go there, play a little, then pretend to be injured and return.’”
Ademola Lookman has praised Atlético Madrid following their 2–0 victory over Barcelona.
It can be noted that the match ended 2–0, with goals scored by Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth.
Speaking in a recent interview, Lookman commended the team’s performance and unity “It was a good result. The performance of the team, especially not to concede here, shows the work everyone’s been doing and the togetherness.”
Young Arsenal player Max Dowman is making headlines after reaching a major milestone—becoming the youngest player to feature in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages.
The previous record was held by Lamine Yamal, who made his appearance at 16 years and 223 days. Dowman, however, has now broken that record at just 16 years and 97 days.
The youngster continues to show great promise, adding another impressive achievement to his early career.
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League this season.
The club had been leading the title race but suffered two consecutive losses, shaking fans’ confidence and raising doubts about their consistency.
Carragher admitted that while Arsenal have been impressive overall, the recent losses were disappointing.
“It was a big result for Arsenal but it wasn’t a great performance. The real question is: if they play like that for the rest of the season, will they win the league? We’ll see.”
