Eric Chelle Explains Victor Osimhen's Absence from Matches
Eric Chelle, the head coach of the Super Eagles, provided an explanation regarding Victor Osimhen's absence from the national team's recent matches. Osimhen, who plays for Galatasaray, was unavailable for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau, as well as a friendly match against Russia that ended in a 3-3 draw.
Chelle stated that Osimhen sustained an injury approximately 10-15 days before the international break. Initially included in the squad, Osimhen could not participate because he did not recover in time to play for Galatasaray before the international window.
Chelle emphasized that there was no conflict between Osimhen, his club, or the national team regarding his absence.
