VICTOR OSIMHEN A MAJOR DOUBT FOR NIGERIA’S AFCON SEMI-FINAL CLASH AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is doubtful for Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final clash against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at the Stade De La Paix, Bouake on Wednesday.

Super Eagles media officer Babafemi Raji said the African footballer of the year is suffering from abdominal discomfort and failed to travel with the rest of the squad to Bouake last night.

The players and their officials departed Abidjan for Bouake via Air Cote d’Ivoire around 10 pm local time, while Osimhen, who has been placed under close watch will join the rest of the squad today if he is cleared by the medical team.

The 25-year-old has scored one goal and provided one assist in five matches at the AFCON 2023 finals.
