Nigerian football star Victor Osimhen has been given the green light to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final match against South Africa.
Reported by PoojaMedias, a Nigerian photojournalist covering the Super Eagles and AFCON, Osimhen, who was previously sidelined due to an abdominal issue, has been declared fit and is en route to join the team in Bouake.
Although the Super Eagles had earlier confirmed Osimhen’s setback, they have yet to officially announce his medical clearance.
Initially, the player remained under medical supervision in Abidjan after being diagnosed with abdominal pain, causing him to miss the team’s journey to Bouake on Monday, February 5, 2024.
Despite the lack of goals, Victor Osimhen has played a crucial role for the Super Eagles, contributing significantly throughout the tournament.
Nigeria aims to secure their first AFCON victory since 2013, which also marks their last appearance in the final.
The highly anticipated semi-final against South Africa is slated for Wednesday, February 7, 2024, with a 17:00 GMT kick-off time.
