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.
