The camp of the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers games against Guinea Bissau has received a huge boost for the first of the two games against Guinea Bissau.
They were fears that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen will likely miss the games with Napoli insisting on a scan on the striker before he is allowed to honour the games according to several reports in Italy.
However, OGN can exclusively reveal that Osimhen is already in Nigeria but presently in Lagos for the games. He is expected to arrive the camp of the team before their first real training session later this evening at the Moshood Abiola stadium in Abuja.
We gathered, he would have been in camp earlier but he took permission to attend an event in Lagos, where he is set to sign a multi million dollars endorsement deal with a brand.
” They were some issues but it’s sorted. He is in Lagos now on permission from head coach Jose Peseiro. All things being equal he will be in training this evening, the reason for his stop over in Lagos is to seal an endorsement deal. So no shaking”, a team source told OGN.
