Super Eagles, star striker Victor Osimhen has received medical clearance to participate in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final against South Africa. Sources in Abidjan have confirmed that Osimhen, who initially faced doubts over his involvement due to abdominal discomfort, is now expected to be fit for the Wednesday game.
The Napoli hitman, having been cleared by doctors, has swiftly traveled to Bouake to join the rest of the squad, providing a significant boost for coach Jose Peseiro. Osimhen's return comes after he was left behind on Monday, creating uncertainty about his availability.
With his well-being confirmed, the Super Eagles anticipate Osimhen's prowess on the field to play a crucial role in their quest for AFCON success.
