Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, has confirmed his availability for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Osimhen, who was injured after a clash of heads during Napoli’s defeat at Inter Milan in November, was initially ruled out of action for three months.
But the U-17 World Cup winner, on social media, said he will be available for the tournament billed for next month in Cameroon.
“I will be available for AFCON 100% unless I’m not among the players picked to represent Nigeria,” he wrote.

“The prognosis is estimated to be around 90 days.”
