Victor Osimhen Injured: Impact on Super Eagles for AFCON Qualifiers
Victor Osimhen was notably absent as 20 Super Eagles players arrived at camp ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The Super Eagles are preparing for a key match against Benin Republic, with Osimhen missing due to a muscle injury.
Despite his absence, coach Austin Eguavoen remains confident that other players like Victor Boniface, Taiwo Awoniyi, and Kelechi Iheanacho will step up to fill the gap.
The Super Eagles have seen several key players report to camp, including William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Wilfred Ndidi, and Ademola Lookman.
