AFCON: Osimhen cleared by doctors, travels to Bouake for South Africa clash

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has been cleared by medical doctors to play against South Africa in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, semi-final.

Sources in Abidjan have confirmed that Osimhen is expected to be fit for Wednesday’s game.

The Napoli hitman has now travelled to Bouake, where he will join up with the rest of the squad.

Doubts over his involvement arose on Monday after the team sent out a statement revealing that Osimhen was dealing with abdominal discomfort.

Osimhen, who has scored only once at the tournament, was left behind as the rest of the players travelled for the match.

News of his wellbeing will come as a big boost for Jose Peseiro.
