Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will miss Nigeria's opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau due to an injury that has taken longer to recover from than expected. Initially included in the squad by Eric Chelle, Osimhen was ruled out after being unavailable for a Galatasaray match on September 19, which was considered a crucial fitness test for him.
