2019 AFCON : Victor Osimhen Suffers Injury Scare In Training Ahead Of Madagascar Clash

Published: June 27, 2019

Sporting Charleroi frontman Victor Osimhen suffered an injury scare during the Super Eagles workout at the Arab Academy of Science and Technology and Maritime Transport on Thursday, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

Osimhen who was lively in training today felt his groin after powering a shot past goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa in the opposing goal.

After the goal, the young striker went to the deck and was attended to by the medical team under the watchful eye of head coach Gernot Rohr.

The good news here is that the striker got up after receiving medical attention and continued with the training session.

Osimhen has yet to appear for the Super Eagles at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations but could be given a run-out against Madagascar on Sunday evening as the Gernot Rohr-led side are already through to the last sixteen.

Madagascar have moved to second on the table after beating Burundi 1-0 in their second Group B fixture played today.
