At the end of Egypt 2019 African Nations Cup, Victor Osimhen declared that the tournament was a major learning process for him
“I am delighted to have gained some valuable senior tournament experience in this competition ,” Osimhen had told The Guardian at the Le Meridian Cairo Airport Hotel shortly after the third-place match between Nigeria and Tunisia.
To Osimhen, Egypt 2019 AFCON was a stepping-stone for players of his generation. “We own this space, and in the future, we are going to dominate the African Nations Cup. So the experiences I gathered in Egypt will surely help me,” he added.In less than two years, he has become the talking point in football, not only in Africa but the world at large.
However, to a lot of analysts, the circumstances surrounding Osimhen’s non-appearance at Cameroun 2022 AFCON is uncalled for. Writing through his Lexsetter law firm, in a letter dated December 31, Ezeaku, who is the Team Manager Of Enugu Rangers FC, stated that Napoli was determined to go to any length to deny Osimhen the chance of representing Nigeria at the AFCON.
Osimhen had suffered a face injury on November 22, and Napoli doctor, Dr. Tartaro, said in a statement that ‘it takes from 60 to 90 days for the bone callus formation to heal.’
