Shchetinin Says He’s Sad He Didn’t Get to Play Against Osimhen in Match Against Super Eagles
Russia’s Mikhail Shchetinin has expressed disappointment over Victor Osimhen’s absence during their international friendly clash with Nigeria on Friday night. The Super Eagles played out a 1-1 draw against Russia at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, but Osimhen, one of Nigeria’s key strikers, was not part of the squad.
Speaking after the match, Shchetinin admitted he had been looking forward to going up against the Napoli forward, who recently wrapped up a loan spell at Galatasaray. “It’s a bit of a letdown that some of their top players didn’t come,” he told Championat. “I really wanted to see Osimhen. It would’ve been an exciting challenge.”
He also praised the Nigerian team, mentioning Victor Boniface among the players who impressed him during the encounter. Sources say Osimhen was left out of the squad by coach Eric Chelle as the striker is currently focused on settling his next club move after his loan deal in Turkey ended.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.
The list includes star players Mohamed Salah, Andy Robertson, and Ibrahima Konaté. While some players are leaving, others have been offered new contracts.
The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
French footballer Kylian Mbappé has spoken on which player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will score more goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It can be noted that the FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday and will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The player picked Lionel Messi to score more goals than Ronaldo during the tournament.
