The head coach of Nigeria’s national football team, Jose Peseiro, faces uncertainty as star striker Victor Osimhen’s fitness for the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final against South Africa hangs in the balance.
Osimhen, who did not travel with the team due to abdominal discomfort, is being closely monitored by the medical team.
In the event that Osimhen is unable to play, Peseiro has alternative striking options. Paul Onuachu, known for replacing Osimhen in previous matches, provides a strong aerial presence. Additionally, Peseiro can consider Kelechi Iheanacho and Terem Moffi for their speed and agility.
While Osimhen remains a priority for recovery, Peseiro is developing a contingency plan for the crucial match, which he will discuss with the media soon.
