Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has responded to former Super Eagles head coach Finidi George’s criticism of his commitment to the national team.
Osimhen was unable to participate in Nigeria’s recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic due to injury.
Despite this, Finidi suggested that the striker could have still played in the matches.
In a rebuttal, the 25-year-old fired 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 reacted on Instagram.
“Now after two bad games, everybody is now 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 role as Super Eagles head coach on Saturday.
