Osimhen: I’m Fully Fit and Ready for AFCON 2025
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has declared himself fully fit and ready to lead Nigeria’s charge at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Galatasaray forward, who recently recovered from a hamstring injury, says he is prepared to give everything as the team begins its quest for a fourth continental title.
‘I am okay. I just came back from a hamstring injury. A big shoutout to my club, Galatasaray, they have been very supportive and ensured I had some games before reporting for national duty,’ Osimhen told SportyTV.
The 26 year old likened the AFCON tournament as war and believes the Super Eagles are ready for the big fight..
‘We’re going to war, and Tuesday is the first one. We will give everything, and we’re not underrating anyone. There are many favourites in this competition, and we’re going to give our all to realise our dream of winning the AFCON.’
Nigeria are aiming to end a 12-year wait for a fourth AFCON trophy but Osimhen admitted the journey will not be straightforward
‘I believe so much in this squad, I believe in the coaching staff and everyone associated with the team. It’s not going to be easy because we still have a long way to go, but I am positive about this squad,’ he said.
