The 20-year-old was replaced by Loic Remy in 58th minute of the encounter.
The former Wolfsburg of Germany striker took to the social media to provide update on the injury.
“I’m fine, it’s just a minor injury issue, thanks brother,”Osimhen replied centre-back, Kenneth Omeruo who asked a question on the severity of the injury.

The Super Eagles will host neighbours Benin on November 14 in their opening AFCON 2021 qualifying fixture and then face Lesotho in Maseru five days later.
