Victor Osimhen, who was already sidelined during the last international break, has once again joined Nigeria’s Super Eagles for matches against Lesotho and Benin. However, recent images from the national team camp have sparked fresh concerns.

In a photo shared on social media, Osimhen can be seen with his left ankle heavily bandaged. This detail has reignited fears, especially since training sessions are reportedly taking place on a partly sandy pitch, increasing the risk of aggravating his injury.
