Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen missed the game due to the injury he sustained while representing the country in the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The team coach Luciano Spalletti gave an update on the Nigeria international after the game and how the medics are working hard to make him recover on time.

"Osimhen wants to play every game, but there are situations that need to be evaluated carefully. He really did run the risk of hurting himself badly and being ruled out for the rest of the season, so the medics were right to make him take some time out.

“Now we need to see if with a little strong physical activity, the pressure on the muscles grows and how he reacts because so far he has only done some basic jogging.

“It does become difficult without him, because he has this way of running into space, this physicality, he can draw everyone to him and therefore create the space for his teammates", he told DAZN.
