Good news for Super Eagles fans as Victor Osimhen, the star striker for Nigeria’s national football team, trained with his teammates in Bouake on Tuesday night, signaling his readiness for the crucial semi-final showdown against South Africa at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Osimhen’s participation in the encounter was uncertain after he missed the team’s travel to Bouake on Monday due to abdominal discomfort.

However, the Napoli forward joined the squad in Bouake on Tuesday afternoon and participated in training, dispelling concerns about his fitness.

“Victor Osimhen has been declared fit and available for selection in the semi-final clash against South Africa on Wednesday. He has joined the team in Bouaké and has trained with the squad today,” announced the Super Eagles official X handle.
