Nigeria superstar Victor Osimhen has successfully diffused concerns about his availability for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against South Africa.
The lanky forward, pivotal to Nigeria’s championship journey, demonstrated his prowess during the team’s training session in Bouake, the venue for the crucial match on Wednesday.
Osimhen’s clearance to participate in the game came on Tuesday evening, following a series of final tests conducted by the team medics.
Despite being initially left behind at the Pullman Hotel in Abidjan due to abdominal discomfort, he eventually joined his teammates after overcoming the health setback.
Known for his relentless running and remarkable passes that have contributed significantly to Nigeria’s progress in the tournament, Osimhen’s presence adds a boost to the team’s morale.
As they prepare to face South Africa in the semi-final showdown at the Stade de la Paix, his arrival has brought a sense of relief and anticipation for fans eagerly awaiting this high-stakes encounter.
The Super Eagles are chasing their fourth continental glory. Their last triumph was in 2013, when South Africa hosted the tournament.
