Super Eagles has arrived in Bloemfontein, South Africa, on Sunday for their crucial 2026 World Cup qualifier against Bafana Bafana, but star striker Victor Osimhen is absent due to a chin injury sustained in Saturday’s win over Rwanda.
Osimhen will not travel for the match after a team doctor confirmed his injury is a bruise, and he will undergo further tests. His absence raises concerns about Nigeria’s attacking options, as he was replaced by Cyriel Dessers, who struggled to make an impact.
Also,Tolu Arokodare, who scored the winning goal against Rwanda, is expected to lead Nigeria’s attack. Nigeria currently sits third in the group with 10 points, risking missing a second consecutive World Cup, as South Africa leads with 16 points.
