Super Eagles' Victor Osimhen to Miss 2025 AFCON Due to Injury Blow

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is reportedly set to miss the 2025 AFCON after sustaining an injury during the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs against DR Congo. Osimhen's absence has affected Nigeria's performance, with the team failing to win matches without him.

Galatasaray's loss to Union St Gillois coincided with Osimhen's unavailability. The Nigerian forward's injury status and impact on both club and country have been highlighted by Galatasaray's president, Dursun Ozbek, and former player Sinan Engin.
