SERIE A champions, Napoli have announced the release of Super Eagles of Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Victor Osimhen is already in Nigeria to prepare for the AFCON.
Victor Osimhen is expected to be named in Nigeria’s final squad for the competition slated for Cote d’Ivoire next January. Napoli wrote, “At the end of today’s training, Osimhen obtained a day’s leave so he could join his family before leaving for the national team’s training camp.”
The forward is suspended for Napoli’s league clash with Monza on Friday (today) and that has prompted his early release for the 2023 AFCON finals.
Osimhen picked a red card in the Partenopei’s 2-0 defeat to AS Roma last week.
The striker, who is expected to be named in the Super Eagles squad for Cote d’Ivoire 2023, will link up with his international teammates in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on 1st January 2024.
