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.
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.”
