Victor Osimhen
Super Eagles talismanic striker Victor Osimhen has pledged his commitment to feature for Nigeria at next month’s Africa Cup of Nations should be listed by the coach Augustine Eguavoen-led technical crew.
The 22-year-old Napoli striker last month suffered a left cheekbone and orbital fracture in Napoli’s Serie A clash against Inter but underwent a successful but complicated surgery afterwards.

He was expected to be out of action for 90 days but returned to light training on December 8 with words rife that his Italian club might not release him for the AFCON.
But the Nation’s 2021 Sport Personality of the Year award winner yesterday reiterated his commitment to the Super Eagles.
“I will be available for AFCON unless if am not among the players picked to represent Nigeria,” Osimhen noted yesterday on his verified twitter handle.
Super Eagles caretaker coach Eguavoen had hinted in his first comprehensive interview since his appointment that only Napoli can stop the players from turning out for Nigeria at the AFCON.
