Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has confirmed the availability of Victor Osimhen for the Super Eagles AFCON 2022 qualifiers games against Benin Republic and Lesotho respectively.
They were doubts over his availability but the coach confirmed that he has fully recovered from the head injury he sustained after landing awkwardly during the game against Atalanta.
Rohr went as far as revealing the tactics he most play with the forward further hinting at how they will be lined up when they go in search of one point from six to seal their spot at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.
“Osimhen can play as a central striker in both 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. They are two game systems that we use in the national team. He has been a permanent player in the Nigerian national team for five years. His spirit of sacrifice is an example for everyone”.
“ Napoli are a great team but they have been unlucky this season. Gattuso is a good coach and Victor told me he trusts him a lot and what he’s teaching him. I think he can get results already this season”.
