Victor Osimhen has led by example by being among the first arrivals in Rwanda for the Super Eagles must-win 2026 World Cup qualifier Friday.
Osimhen has revealed that new coach Eric Chelle challenged the leaders in the team to lead the way for Nigeria to get their World Cup qualifying campaign back on track after an underwhelming start that has seen them languish second from bottom in Group C.
