Afcon 2023: Osimhen doubtful for South Africa clash

Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen is a doubt for the semifinal clash against South Africa at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The Super Eagles will face South Africa on Wednesday in Bouake for a place in the final but it’s uncertain if Osimhen, Africa’s Footballer of the Year, will be included in the starting line up.

The 24-year-old is reported to have an abdominal discomfort and is under close watch with a member of the medical team staying behind in Abidjan with the player.

However, if he’s cleared by Tuesday morning, he will join the rest of the squad before 5pm.
