Asamoah Gyan Denies Allegations of Victor Osimhen Faking Injury in WCQ

Former Ghanaian footballer Asamoah Gyan has refuted reports suggesting Nigerian player Victor Osimhen faked an injury during a 2026 World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. Osimhen, a Super Eagles forward, sustained a bruise during the match, leading to his substitution.

The incident sparked online rumors, alleging that Osimhen feigned the injury to secure a move to Galatasaray. However, team doctors confirmed the legitimacy of Osimhen's injury, dispelling the false claims.

The match ended with Nigeria securing a victory, with Osimhen's early goal ruled offside. Gyan's response aimed to clarify the situation and defend Osimhen against the unfounded accusations.
