Eric Chelle Commends Osimhen's Support After Nigeria's Win
In the AFCON 2027 qualifier held in Uyo, the Super Eagles, under coach Eric Chelle, secured a 2-1 victory against Madagascar, coming back from a goal down. The match featured goals from debutants George Ilenikhena and Moses Usor.
Following the game, Chelle expressed his pride in the team's spirit and highlighted the significance of Victor Osimhen's presence at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, despite Osimhen not participating in the match due to a groin injury sustained while playing for Galatasaray earlier in the month. Chelle stated, “I was very happy that Victor [Osimhen] was here.
It shows that this group is trying to move forward and build something new.” Osimhen was replaced in the squad by Taiwo Awoniyi due to his injury.
