Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, is now a big doubt as regards January 11 when Nigeria faces Egypt in their opening game of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Napoli goalador is reported to have again, tested positive for coronavirus, and he is now self-isolating.
As a result of this, it therefore follows that he will not return to Naples for the scheduled medical test.
“SSC Napoli have announced that Victor Osimhen has tested positive for Covid-19, but he is asymptomatic. Dr. Tartaro was due to perform a check-up on the player tomorrow,” Napoli said in a press release.
“Consequently, the local authorities have ordered that Osimhen self-isolate and the check-up will be rescheduled after he has tested negative and his period of isolation ends.”
Osimhen spent the Christmas holidays in Nigeria, where he also celebrated his 23rd birthday on December 29.
