Nigeria's football team, the Super Eagles, have announced that striker Victor Osimhen will be unable to participate in the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau. Osimhen sustained a muscle strain injury during Galatasaray's 3-2 away win against Istanbul Başakşehir on September 4 and has not played for Nigeria since then.
Despite being included in the national squad for the matches against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau by head coach Éric Chelle, Osimhen's recovery has progressed more slowly than anticipated. Consequently, the 27-year-old has been ruled out of the two games. Nigeria will host Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Thursday, with Guinea-Bissau scheduled to be visited by Nigeria four days later.
