Nigeria can now heave a sigh of relief concerning the availability of her star striker, Victor Osimhen.
The dazzling scorer earlier ruled out on injury grounds has bounced back and fit for the upcoming Nation’s Cup as a fiddle.
The Napoli of Italy striker on Tuesday assured Nigerians of his readiness for the fast approaching 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) if picked by Super Eagles’ handlers.
Osimhen took to his verified twitter handle on Tuesday to announce his readiness to be part of the continental football showpiece starting in Cameroon on the 9th of January, 2022.
Osimhen, who also spoke to the Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Sunday Dare, and the President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick, on phone on Tuesday, confirmed his availability baring any un foreseen circumstances.
“I am 100 per cent ready to represent Nigeria at the 2021 AFCON if I am picked by the coaches,” Osimhen had posted on Twitter.
The striker returned to training some days back after undergoing surgery, following the horrific face injury he sustained in a Serie A clash last month
