Napoli striker Victor Osimhen recently shared a fantastic photo of himself alongside Samuel Chukwueze, enjoying their time together at the Super Eagles training camp ahead of their upcoming AFCON qualifying match against Sierra Leone this Sunday.
The Super Eagles camp in Lagos is buzzing with excitement as all the invited players have gathered, and training commenced on Monday evening at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.
Osimhen’s spirits are high as he joins the Super Eagles camp, having recently achieved the feat of winning the Scudetto with Napoli and finishing the season as the top goalscorer with an impressive tally of 26 goals.
Chukwueze, on the other hand, had a remarkable season in the Spanish La Liga, contributing significantly as a winger to Villarreal’s fifth-place finish in the league standings.
According to a photo Osimhen shared on Twitter, the two players can be seen having a nice time together on the pitch.
When are they leaving Lagos?
The Super Eagles squad is expected to leave Lagos on Saturday via a Chartered Flight for Liberia where they will tackle Sierra Leone.
A win in this tie for the three-time African champions means that they will be picking the ticket to feature at the next African Cup of Nations Championship.

Osimhen, Finidi get a guard of honour
Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles players honoured Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen and Enyimba FC’s Finidi George and Olorunleke Ojo on June 13, after the trio won league titles at their respective clubs in the 2022/23 season.
Osimhen was the star of the season in the Italian top flight A, netting 26 goals for the Naples side and helping the club win the Scudetto after 33 years.
To crown it all, the former Lille strongman also ended last season as the Serie A’s highest goal-scorer, becoming the first African to win the league’s Golden Boot prize.
There has been speculation surrounding Osimhen’s future at Napoli, with clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain all said to be interested in his services.
