Super Eagles Coach Ignores Osimhen's Pleas in 2026 WCQ Playoff

Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle reportedly ignored Victor Osimhen's pleas to play in the second half against DR Congo in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers playoff. Osimhen, who had a slight hamstring injury, was desperate to continue playing but was replaced by Akor Adam.

Shina Oludare, a member of the technical crew, revealed Osimhen's eagerness to play despite the injury. The incident raises concerns about player welfare and management decisions in the Super Eagles team.
