Concern Grows Over Victor Osimhen's Injury Ahead of Nigeria vs. South Africa Clash

Eric Chelle provided an update on Victor Osimhen's injury ahead of Nigeria's crucial clash with South Africa for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. Nigeria secured a narrow win against Rwanda, with Tolu Arokodare's goal earning three points.

However, the victory came at a cost as star striker Osimhen sustained an ankle injury and had to be replaced. Osimhen's absence poses a significant concern for Nigeria's upcoming match against South Africa, as he plays a central role in the team's attack.

The injury setback has left the Super Eagles without their main attacking threat, raising worries among fans and the coaching staff.
