Joy Overflow as Osimhen Rejoins The Team Ahead Of The Semi-Finals

Nigerian fans and teammates were thrilled to hear that Victor Osimhen has been declared fit for Wednesday’s crucial Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against South Africa.

The star striker is expected to slot right back into the starting lineup, bolstering the Super Eagles’ attack alongside Ademola Lookman and Simon Moses.

Coach Jose Peseiro is likely to maintain his winning 3-4-3 formation, with William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, and Calvin Bassey providing a solid defensive wall in front of goalkeeper Maduka Okoye.

Ola Aina and Zaidu Sanusi will patrol the flanks, while Alex Iwobi and Frank Onyeka anchor the midfield.

The stage is set for an exciting encounter! Can Nigeria secure their place in the final? 

The match kicks off at 6 pm WAT on Wednesday, February 7th, 2024.
