Super Eagles camp has received a boost ahead of next week’s vital 2026 World Cup qualifier against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, thanks to the timely return of Victor Osimhen.
The 25 years old, who had been sidelined with a muscle injury since May 11, made a comeback at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday.
Reports had it that his inclusion was to bid farewell to Napoli fans ahead of a potential transfer to Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain.
Victor Osimhen played for 25 minutes, nearly scoring with a last-minute header.
If Osimhen remains injury-free in the upcoming training sessions, he is expected to start against South Africa on June 7.
Meanwhile, the fitness status of another key player, Samuel Chukwueze, remains uncertain.
The AC Milan winger missed the final season match against Salernitana due to a hamstring injury, leaving his availability for the upcoming internationals in doubt.
