Wolfsburg Loanee Osimhen Named In Belgian First Division A Team Of The Week

Published: March 11, 2019

Wolfsburg loanee Victor Osimhen has been named in the latest Belgian First Division A Team of the Week for the penultimate round of matches in the regular season by Voetbalkrant.

The Sporting Charleroi frontman netted his second goal in three matches as Sporting Charleroi registered an impressive 2-1 road win vs Antwerp on Sunday evening.

Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi who had made the Team of the Week for six successive games was not recognized this time despite the former Nigeria U23 striker finding the back of the net against Sint-Truidense.

In a 3-5-2 formation, Osimhen was partnered in attack by Standard Liege's Renaud Emond.

Imoh Ezekiel (Kortrijk) and Anderson Esiti (Gent) were the other players of Nigerian descent that featured for their respective clubs this past weekend.

Osimhen, who has been called up for international duty next week, has tallied 11 goals (3 assists) in 24 league appearances this season.
