In a recent development, Nigeria's national football team faced a setback ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations semifinal match against South Africa. Star striker Victor Osimhen was unable to travel with the team to Bouake in the Ivory Coast due to an abdominal issue. As the team departed on Monday, it was announced that Osimhen would stay behind in Abidjan pending medical clearance.
According to a statement released by the team, Osimhen's abdominal discomfort necessitated close monitoring by the medical staff. Should he receive medical clearance by Tuesday morning, he will join the rest of the squad before 5pm.
