Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen, may be sidelined for Nigeria's upcoming semi-final match against South Africa in the African Cup of Nations.
Babafemi Raji, the media officer of the Nigerian team, issued a statement on Monday, February 5th, revealing that the striker is experiencing abdominal discomfort.
According to Raji, Osimhen did not accompany the team to Bouaké, the city hosting the semi-final clash.
The statement stated:
"Members of the team traveled from Abidjan to Bouaké today via a 10 pm Air Cote D’Ivoire flight. Osimhen did not, however, make the trip as a result of an abdominal discomfort. Team medics confirmed that he has been placed under close watch with a member of the medical team staying behind in Abidjan with him. If cleared by tomorrow morning, he will join the rest of the squad before 5 pm."
Osimhen's absence would be a setback for the Super Eagles as they aim to secure victory in the crucial semi-final encounter.
