When Nigeria star forward Victor Osimhen walked off the pitch after suffering a facial fracture playing for Italian club Napoli against Inter Milan, initial reports indicated the 22-year-old was likely to be out for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations and perhaps even Nigeria’s final round games in FIFA World Cup qualifying. It appears Super Eagles fans have good news with reports that Osimhen has returned to training early for Napoli, indicating that the 2020 Prix Marc-Vivien Foé winner will be available for national team duty when the AFCON kicks off in January. Soccernet Nigeria has more on Osimhen’s status and the positive signs for Nigerian supporters.
