Good news for Super Eagles fans, as Victor Osimhen has been given the green light to participate in Wednesday's semi-final showdown against South Africa at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Osimhen's availability for the crucial match was uncertain after he missed the team's journey to Bouake on Monday night due to abdominal discomfort.
During his pre-match press conference earlier today, head coach Jose Peseiro refrained from confirming Osimhen's participation, stating, "Until now, I cannot answer right because it is about health. This afternoon, I can know better if he can play or not."
However, recent reports indicate Osimhen is en route to Bouake to rejoin his teammates. Despite his initial setback, the 25-year-old forward has been a key player for the Super Eagles, contributing one goal and one assist in five appearances at the ongoing AFCON 2023 finals.
The Super Eagles will undergo their final training session tonight at the Stade Annexe, Bouake, gearing up for their clash against the Bafana Bafana. With Osimhen's return to the squad, Nigerian fans can look forward to an exciting and competitive semi-final match.
