Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has been reportedly cleared by the team’s medical doctor for the clash against South Africa.
Soireenews learnt that Osimhen missed the Super Eagles trip to Bouake – the venue of the semi-final clash with South Africa – after suffering abdominal discomfort.
It was said that the Napoli striker will be examined on Tuesday morning, February 6, 2024, if cleared, will join the rest of the squad who have arrived safely in Bouake.
According to sources in Abidjan, Osimhen is on his way to Bouake after being declared fit by the medical team.
Doubts over his involvement arose on Monday after the team sent out a statement revealing that Osimhen was dealing with abdominal discomfort.
Osimhen, who has scored only once at the tournament, was left behind as the rest of the players travelled for the match.
News of his wellbeing will come as a big boost for Jose Peseiro.
The 25-year-old has started in all of Super Eagles’ five matches in Cote d’Ivoire, scoring one goal and chalking up one assist.
