Osimhen Dominates Teammates' Five-a-Side Selections
Victor Osimhen, currently a striker for Galatasaray, withdrew from the Super Eagles' squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers due to injury and missed a club match against Trabzonspor. Despite his absence, Osimhen's influence was evident as teammates named him in their ultimate five-a-side teams featuring Nigerian football legends.
Players such as Taiwo Awoniyi, Ola Aina, and Semi Ajayi included Osimhen alongside notable figures like Austin Jay-Jay Okocha, Sunday Oliseh, Joseph Yobo, and Vincent Enyeama. Aina's selection also featured Alex Iwobi and William Troost-Ekong.
The only player to exclude Osimhen was Calvin Bassey, who opted for a lineup that included Enyeama, Yobo, Okocha, Kanu, and former coach Austin Eguavoen. This widespread inclusion of Osimhen highlights the respect he commands within the Super Eagles camp.
