A new update has come out about why Victor Osimhen did not continue in the second half of Nigeria’s World Cup playoff match against DR Congo.
According to FlashScore editor, Shina Oludare, a member of the Super Eagles coaching crew told him that Osimhen actually begged to return to the pitch, even though he had a slight hamstring injury.
Oludare shared on X that he had breakfast with the team official, who explained that the coaches refused Osimhen’s request because they didn’t want the injury to get worse, especially with AFCON coming soon.
Osimhen was replaced by Akor Adams when the game was still 1-1.
Oludare added that some fans still post wrong information online, even when the truth is available.
