Victor Osimhen is set to undergo an MRI scan to assess the extent of the injury he suffered during Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia.
Osimhen was substituted in the 55th minute of the game due to the injury, and his availability for the Super Eagles’ upcoming friendly against Mozambique is uncertain.
Head coach Jose Peseiro has confirmed that the Napoli striker will undergo the scan on Monday to determine the severity of the injury.
Peseiro explained his cautious approach, stating, “At this moment, it is my opinion, will I go and put in a player with an injury? A month’s injury, or even two? It is better to put it in his mind now.”
He continued, “He is going to do the test, check, and if it doesn’t improve, you must expect the club [to make the final decisions], the club pays the salary for him. Not only for Osimhen but for our players.”
