Nigeria’s super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen suffered an injury scare during the team workout at the Arab Academy of Science and Technology and Maritime Transport on Thursday and he may miss Nigeria’s last AFCON 2019 Group B game against the Barea of Madagascar on Sunday.
Osimhen who was lively in training 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.
Nigeria have battled with illness and injuries to key players in the build up to the competition.
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.
