Nigeria will be Victor Osimhen for the Must-Win World Cup qualifying match on Tuesday in South Africa without a foot injury missing the journey, officials confirmed on Monday.
The African football player of the year from 2023 is the main attacker of Nigeria, but was injured in playing in the 1-0 home victory on Rwanda in UYO and excluded the group C-Showdown in Bloemfontein.
He bumped away after 32 minutes from the collision.
Nigeria Trails Leader South Africa with six points in the rankings, although South Africa is expected to be punished three points for using a defaulter earlier in the qualifying campaign, making this an important game for every late comeback for the Super Eagles.
The group winner will qualify for the final in North America next year.
