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.’”
Nigerian footballer Victor Osimhen spoke about his childhood days and the difficult experiences he faced growing up.
He revealed that his mother was the breadwinner of the family and that her death deeply affected them.
“My mom was the breadwinner of the family, but she and my dad never had issues because of it.”
He shared that when his mother passed away, they not only missed her emotionally but also struggled financially without her support.
Fans related to his story and applauded how he has now risen to greatness.
It has been revealed that Ruben Amorim’s possible next step could be taking over as Benfica’s manager, replacing José Mourinho at S.L. Benfica.
It can be recalled that the manager was released from Manchester United F.C. in January and has since been seeking his next step.
He has now emerged as the top candidate to become Benfica’s new manager.
Rio Ferdinand has reacted to talks surrounding Xabi Alonso and the managerial position at Real Madrid.
It was reported that Xabi Alonso had signed a contract with the club to become their manager.
Ferdinand then shared his thoughts on the move “I’m genuinely surprised he’s taken that position. I’m not suggesting he’s the wrong choice.
“The reason I’m taken aback by his decision is that I thought he would have been patient enough to see how the Arne Slot situation at Liverpool would unfold.”
He explained that Alonso could have possibly become Liverpool manager with enough time and also spoke about Alonso’s love for the club.
