December 28, (THEWILL) – Victor Osimhen is due to arrive at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) camp on January 3, ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations. The 22-year-old Napoli striker is already back in the country after undergoing face surgery in Italy.
Ademola Olajire, the NFF spokesman, confirmed this in reaction to rumours that Osimhen will not be available for the continental competition set to kickoff next month.
Debunking this, Olajire insisted that “We expect Victor to join up with the rest of the squad at least by January 3. It is unnecessary to react to every report in the media about players’ availability or potential non-availability for the tournament.
“But the NFF are confident that our players including Osimhen understand the country’s desire for a fourth continental title.
“It is important to have all our players show the same commitment and ambitious traits as displayed by Osimhen.”
