Victor Osimhen’s availability for Nigeria’s upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers uncertain following an injury sustained in Serie A action against Bologna last weekend.

Osimhen, a key figure in Nigeria’s attack, missed Napoli’s recent training session as he recuperates from a muscle strain, as confirmed by Napoli’s official website.

This injury casts doubts over his participation in both club and national team duties.

Joining the forward on the injury list is AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze, whose fitness concerns raise further questions for the upcoming fixtures.

Moreover, Nigeria’s injury worries also includes Moses Simon, Zaidu Sanusi, and Tyrone Ebuehi all of whom are sidelined due to long-term injuries.

The Super Eagles face an uphill task in the World Cup qualifiers, having failed to secure a win in their opening matches against Zimbabwe and Lesotho, both ending in 1-1 draws.

With key players battling injuries, Finidi George faces an uphill task to get Nigeria’s campaign back on track as they seek to secure crucial victories in June’s fixtures against South Africa and Benin Republic.
