After nursing abnormal discomfort for few days, Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has reportedly been cleared by the team’s medical staff for Wednesday’s semi-final clash against South Africa.
The Super Eagles travelled on Monday evening from Abidjan to Bouaké without star striker Victor Osimhen as a result of his illness.
The team’s media officer, Babafemi Raji, who confirmed the incident, said the team doctors had placed him under close watch with a member of the medical team staying behind in Abidjan with him.
According to sources in Abidjan, Victor will join his teammates in Bouake after being declared fit and is expected to feature in the game.
The Napoli striker has been an important part of the Eagles’ superb AFCON run so far starting all five matches in Côte d’Ivoire, scoring one goal and setting up Ademola Lookman against Cameroon. (The Nation)
