Victor Osimhen has been named in the Super Eagles starting line-up for the all-important 2026 World Cup Group C qualifier against Lesotho in Polokwane.
Galatasaray’s striker returned to the team after missing the last game against South Africa. He had suffered a bruised shin in the match against Rwanda in Uyo and had to be subbed off early in the game.
The injury sidelined Osimhen for a couple of games before he returned to action with his club, scoring the winning penalty in their UEFA Champions League (UCL) game against Liverpool to become the first Nigerian to score 10 goals in that competition.
