Team officials have told SCORENigeria that the heavy taping around the right thigh of striker Victor Osimhen is not a cause for concern.
Osimhen trained fully Thursday night with a heavy taping.
“It’s not a serious thing,” one of the officials assured.

Injury ruled out the Napoli loanee from last month’s 2025 AFCON double-header against Libya.
