Osimhen’s absence huge loss for Nigeria — Kaita
Former Nigeria international Sani Kaita has described Victor Osimhen’s absence as a “huge loss” for the Super Eagles ahead of their friendly against Russia in October.
Osimhen will miss the encounter as he continues his recovery from injury, with Kaita acknowledging the striker’s importance while insisting Nigeria still have enough attacking quality to cope with his absence.
“Of course, Osimhen’s absence is a huge loss for our team. However, Nigeria has other high-level players who can replace him, and the coaching staff has a variety of attacking options,” Kaita told Championat.
