The doubts surrounding the availability of African Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen, for Nigeria’s clash with South Africa in Wednesday’s semi final has been cleared.
Media Officer of the Super Eagles, Babafemi Raji, announced Tuesday evening that the Napoli front man has been declared fit by the team’s medical crew and so fit to lace his boots against the Bafana Bafana.
Raji’s brief statement read: “Victor Osimhen has been declared fit and available for selection in the semi-final clash against South Africa on Wednesday.
” He has joined the team in Bouaké and has trained with the squad today,” the Media Officer of the team stressed in the statement issued Tuesday evening from Bouake.
Osimhen didn’t travel with the team to Bouake on Monday because he had some abdominal pain and required medical clearance before linking up with the rest of the squad in Bouake.
A doctor was detailed from the Super Eagles medical crew to be on his case back in camp in Abidjan
The all-clear verdict of Eagles doctors for the Nigerian talisman must be sweet news to millions of supporters of the three-time African champions who are dreaming of a fourth title at Côte d’Ivoire 2023.
Osimhen has only scored a goal and one assist in this tournament but his overall performance has propelled the Super Eagles to this Last 4 stage of the tournament.
