Aiyegbeni Urges Super Eagles Players to Step Up in Osimhen's Absence

Former international Yakubu Aiyegbeni urged Super Eagles players like Cyriel Dessers and Tolu Arokodare to step up in Victor Osimhen's absence for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa. Osimhen's injury leaves a gap in the team, requiring others to fill his role.

Aiyegbeni emphasized the need for Dessers and Arokodare to perform and make the country proud. Osimhen's absence due to injury from the Rwanda clash poses a challenge for Nigeria, with Aiyegbeni stressing the importance of team effort and individual contributions in Osimhen's absence.
