Eguavoen reveals why Osimhen pulled out of AFCON

The Napoli superstar was supposed to be part of Nigeria’s squad for the AFCON, but he had to pull out due to a facial injury 

Super Eagles boss Augustine Eguavoen has revealed that Victor Osimhen pulled out of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations because of his health issues.

The 23-year-old Napoli star was supposed to be part of the squad that will represent Nigeria at the upcoming AFCON, but he withdrew after a constant back and forth between the NFF and Napoli.

The former Lille star sustained a nasty facial injury in late November after colliding with Milan Skriniar in Napoli’s 3-2 to Inter Milan. (Soccernet)
