Victor Osimhen has fired back at former Super Eagles coach Finidi George over his comments on his commitment towards this month’s crucial 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
Osimhen was injured for the games, but Finidi maintained the striker could still have managed to play the matches.
Osimhen reportedly twisted his ankle and was ruled out for four weeks.
The 25-year-old Napoli striker has now said he is now being attacked for the failure of the Super Eagles to win both matches.
Osimhen, who took to his to Instagram page, defended himself, stating, “I asked Finidi George to allow me to stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother, that I should stay with my family.
“Now, after two bad games, everybody 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.”
He added: “I have lost every respect I have for him.”
