Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo has said a player like Victor Osimhen must experience playing at the World Cup.
Osimhen helped the Super Eagles get their campaign back on track after netting a brace in the 2-0 win against Rwanda.
It was the team’s first win in the qualifiers which took them to fourth on six points.
The Galatasaray striker missed out on playing at the Qatar 2022 World Cup after they lost to Black Stars of Ghana on away goals in the qualifying play-offs.
Speaking ahead of the Zimababwe clash on Tuesday, Omeruo who played at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups said on Brila FM:”Just few players in the Super Eagles have been to the World Cup, they understand the importance and amazing atmosphere.
“For a player like Victor Osimhen he has to be at the World Cup, he has to experience the World Cup. I have spoken to Osimhen amdnhe knows how important the game against Zimbabwe is.
“The players are not going there (against Zimbabwe) to joke and I believe they will get six points from the two games.”

So he has never been to the world cup yet he had the temerity to disrespect and insult someone that has been to two and even scored in it…smh..
See ehn..If them neva beat one of these gen z for disrespecting their elders, the rest no go learn…
The way he insulted finidi George before the world one will think he has been to 7 world cups and won 5 lmao
Kai! Smh…may God save these generation of footballers….
With the way things are going it’s like I will also join osimhen to disrespect Finidi George, someone who was with the team for more than 2 years could not manage a single win or play any meaningful soccer yet it is his mate who came in and within 3 months used the same players to play fantastic football and a win. Even the Finidi and his co travellers have been wobbling and fumbling in ordinary NPFL. Keep soaring Osimhen, let the foolish ones continue in the sorry state!
Samuel chukwueze should be benched or left out of the team entirely. He doesn’t add anything to the team.
Some other hungry player should take over his wing.
