Nigeria star Victor Osimhen is very doubtful for the CAN 2024 semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday.
Big concern around Victor Osimhen. Suffering from abdominal discomfort, the Napoli striker is very uncertain for the semi-final of the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations between Nigeria and South Africa, scheduled for Wednesday (6 p.m.).
The former Lille player did not make the trip with the rest of his teammates to Bouaké, scene of this first CAN semi-final, and remained in Abidjan to receive treatment, the Nigerian Federation said.
Osimhen did not travel with his teammates
“ Team doctors confirmed that he had been placed under close observation and that a member of the medical team had remained in Abidjan with him.indicated the spokesperson of the Super Eagles, Babafemi Raji, in a press release published this Monday, and added: “If he is cleared tomorrow morning (Tuesday), he will join the rest of the team before 5 p.m. »
The possible withdrawal of Victor Osimhen would obviously be a huge blow for Nigeria. As a reminder, the 25-year-old striker has scored a goal and provided an assist in five matches played since the start of the tournament.
