Victor Osimhen said Tuesday that he will be available to play for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations despite currently being out of action while recovering from a smashed cheekbone.
Napoli forward Osimhen looked certain to miss out on the continental tournament, which is scheduled to kick off on January 9, after initially being ruled out for three months following surgery on face fractures suffered against Inter Milan in late November.
But the 22-year-old insisted he would be ready to travel to Cameroon with the Super Eagles.
“I will be available for AFCON unless if am not among the players picked to represent NIGERIA,” Osimhen said on Twitter.
