I have to travel – Victor Osimhen rushes to Join Super Eagles in Rabat

Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has put national team duty first, brushing off a disallowed goal and his team’s shock defeat to Kocaelispor as he rushes to join the Super Eagles in Rabat, Morocco.

The Nigerian international was seen hastily leaving the stadium after the match, eager to catch his flight to Morocco where he will link up with the national team ahead of their crucial World Cup playoff semi-final against Gabon.

“I have to travel, I have to travel,” Osimhen told reporters, emphasizing his focus on the national team. This will be his first action with the Super Eagles since leading them to the playoffs, and expectations are high that he will play a key role in their quest for World Cup qualification.

Osimhen’s impressive form this season, including a hat-trick in the Champions League, has made him a vital cog in the Super Eagles’ attack. His leadership and goal-scoring threat will be crucial against Gabon, and coach Eric Chelle will be hoping he can fire the team to victory.

The Super Eagles have assembled in Rabat, with several players already arriving in camp, including captain William Troost-Ekong, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, and Wilfred Ndidi. The team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing qualification campaign and secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup.
