Victor Osimhen, the prolific Nigeria striker, is racing against the clock to recover in time for the critical 2023 Africa Cup of Nations semifinal match against South Africa.
The Super Eagles are set to face off against the Bafana Bafana on Wednesday at the Stade de Bouaké, with both teams vying for a victory in the highly anticipated encounter.
Osimhen, who has been a standout performer for Nigeria throughout the ongoing AFCON 2023 tournament, is eager to regain his fitness for the showdown against South Africa.
Reports have indicated that the Napoli star did not accompany the rest of the Nigeria team from Abidjan to Bouake on Monday.
It has been disclosed that he is currently experiencing abdominal discomfort and is under close observation by the medical team in Abidjan.
His potential absence would undoubtedly deal a major blow to the Nigeria national team, who have their sights set on claiming their fourth AFCON title in Ivory Coast.
