AFCON Qualifiers: Osimhen ruled out of Eagles’ games

Super Eagles media officer, Promise Efogeh, has revealed that Victor Osimhen is out of the two AFCON qualifier games later this month.
Efogeh, on Saturday, said Osimhen’s recovery from a muscle strain has been slower than expected.
“He was included in Nigeria’s squad for the AFCON qualifiers because Galatasaray and Super Eagles technical crew were hopeful he would be fit for the super lig game against Trabzonspor and be ready for the international window.
“But his absence from the match on Saturday confirms Galatasary’s correspondence to Super Eagles manager, Eric Chelle, that the striker is still recovering and will not be ready for Nigeria’s matches,” the media officer said.
Nigeria will take on Madagascar on September 25 and four days later clash with Guinea Bissau in the 2027 AFCON qualifier games.
