The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has picked Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen for a random drug test after his all action display for Nigeria in their 2-0 win over Cameroon in the round of 16 at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations, OwmGoalNigeria.com reports.
Osimhen was the driving force in the win for the Super Eagles with his desperation to get on the ball leading to him snatching possession before laying the assist for Ademola Lookman to score the opener.
He chased down every single ball putting the defence of Cameroon under pressure until he was substituted with around five minutes left to play in the game. His energetic display has now led to CAF picking him for a random drug test.
Usually players are picked by drawing of lots for all players on the match day squad, but they can also picked players randomly if they noticed any unusual behavior during and after the game. Kelechi Iheanacho was the other player picked for a drug test despite not getting on the pitch.
