Nigeria’s star striker Victor Osimhen has been declared fit to face the South Africans in the AFCON semi-final clash this evening at the Stade De Bouake. The striker had been feared to have abdominal discomfort that would have ruled him out of the clash. Though scored only a goal so far, Osimhen has been a constant in the Super Eagles’ attack and missing him for this important clash would have been massive for the team. This semi-final holds historical significance for Nigeria, equalling record of 16 appearances. South Africa, meanwhile, are riding a wave of momentum after overcoming initial struggles. They defeated Morocco in the round of 16 and are aiming for a repeat of their 2000 semi-final victory against Nigeria. Coach Broos, known for his AFCON success, acknowledges their quarter-final performance wasn’t their best but believes they can overcome their nerves and continue their impressive run.
