November 19, 2019 Lille to assess Osimhen’s knee injury

Lille to assess Osimhen’s knee injury

Victor Osimhen will be assessed in the next 48 hours after he limped off in Nigeria’s 4-2 win over Lesotho in Sunday’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Maseru.

Osimhen copped a knee injury in a challenge with a Lesotho midfielder in the encounter he scored a brace and bagged two assists.

“We don’t know yet the extent of the injury but he will be assessed as soon as he arrives at his club in the next 24-48 hours to see the scale of the injury,” Osimhen’s representative Ariyo Igbayiola told our correspondent.

Osimhen has been Lille’s biggest success stories this season and so the sight of his late injury in Nigeria’s 4-2 win in Sunday’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier is of significant concern.

The 20-year-old Nigeria international has been prolific for Lille this season scoring nine goals in 17 games and has scored four goals and two assists in nine games for the Eagles having made his debut for Gernot Rohr’s side in 2019.

He is expected to miss Lille’s Ligue 1 clash against Paris Saint Germain this Friday due to suspension.

Rohr: NFF yet to determine my future.

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has revealed that he is willing to renew his contract with Nigeria but the decision is totally in the hands of his employers.

Rohr has led Nigeria to a bright start in their 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers topping Group L with wins against Benin and against Lesotho.

The next set of games for Nigeria is billed for August and September 2020 against Sierra Leone and Benin before rounding off the group qualifiers with Lesotho in November same year.

Rohr’s contract is set to expire in June 2020 and it seems the coach might have managed his last game for the Eagles but the Franco-German hopes the team’s good form can continue even when he is gone.

“We have a good team, I enjoy working with this team, we have very good players and with two wins we are progressing,” he told the media after the Eagles 4-2 win over Lesotho in Maseru on Sunday.

“I hope this continues after the end of my contract but for my future, that is in the hands of the officials but I’m not here to talk about that.”

It has been earlier revealed that the NFF are ready to hand the former Burkina Faso coach a new contract which has also been confirmed by the federation’s president, Amaju Pinnick.
