Announced very uncertain for the semi-final of the CAN which will be played on Wednesday between Nigeria and South Africa, Victor Osimhen has finally joined his teammates.

Emotional roller coaster for Nigeria fans. In less than twenty-four hours, the followers of Super Eagles initially thought they were losing their best player for the African Cup of Nations semi-final which will be played on Wednesday (6 p.m.) against South Africa, before hearing that everything was better. The Nigerian Federation communicated the good news at the end of the day on Tuesday.

The day before, the Nigerian body had indicated that “ the team doctors confirmed (that Victor Osimhen) had been placed under close surveillance and that a member of the medical team had remained in Abidjan with him » while waiting to learn more about his state of health. Leaving the door open to a possible return, the Federation was still worried.

Training completed

And finally, the good news came on Tuesday. “ Victor Osimhen has been declared fit and available to play in the semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday. He joined the team in Bouaké and trained with them today. »

A supporting photo in this press release published on social networks, enough to reassure everyone on the Nigerian side. News which will obviously not delight the opposite camp. THE Bafana Bafana will therefore have to be wary of Nigeria’s number one offensive asset. Unless there is yet another twist in the situation?
