In as much as I adore Osimhen and appreciate what he does for the national team…. I’m still trying to question the basis for him opting out when he initially said he was good to go and then plays a match for Napoli before our last group match…… He could have been very useful for our knock out stage.
He never opted out. you will recalled that he personally declare himself ready and fit for the AFCON via his twitter handle but the Napoli medics have other ulterior motive from saying he will be out for three months to him having COVID. Eventually, all those lines were unfounded and his absence was equally replaced effectively with Awoniyi bullying defenders. No doubt, with Eguavoen remaining as the gaffer, the whole continent of Africa will tremble when the world cup qualifiers kick-off.
