Please, share this story:
Super Eagles coach Austine Eguavoen will have to do without ace striker Victor Osimhen for the forthcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations(AFCON) qualifiers against the Mediterranean Knights of Libya.
The Super Eagles will host the visiting North Africans on October 11 in Uyo before both teams clash again four days later in Benina, some 19 kilometres outside the country’s second city, Benghazi.
But reports emanating from Italy claimed that Napoli-owned Osimhen is expected to be out of action for around six weeks after suffering a thigh strain while on loan at Galatasaray.
He scored his first goals for Galatasaray at the weekend, bagging a brace in the 3-3 draw with Kasimpasa. However, the Nigeria international also left the field at half-time with a muscular problem and it would seem to be more serious than previously thought.
According to the latest reports, Osimhen has a significant thigh strain in his left leg and is expected to be out of action for four to six weeks.
Meanwhile, Osimhen will not feature for Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League clash at Latvian club Rigas FS as he was left out of the Turkish Champions’ travel party.
