Osimhen has scored 23 goals in 32 caps for the Super Eagles. He currently tops the Turkish Super Lig’s goal scoring chart with 20 goals in 22 games.

This defeat marks Atalanta’s third loss to Inter this season across all competitions without scoring a single goal.

Ogbu heads into international duty full of confidence, having netted his second goal of the season in Slavia Prague’s commanding win.
