Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has responded to former Super Eagles head coach Finidi George’s criticisms about his dedication to the national team.
Osimhen missed the Super Eagles’ latest 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic due to injury. Finidi indicated that the striker may still have played both matches.
The 25-year-old has now hit back at the former winger. “I asked Finidi George to allow me stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother that I should stay with my family,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Now, after two bad games, everyone is blaming me.”
“I know how many injuries I’ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.” Finidi resigned from his post as the Super Eagles’ head coach on Saturday.
