Osimhen back in Super Eagles training after clash with Lookman at AFCON
Victor Osimhen returned to full training with the Super Eagles squad on Wednesday, following a reported bust-up with teammate Ademola Lookman during Nigeria's 4-0 victory over Mozambique in the AFCON 2025 last-16 clash. The Galatasaray striker was allegedly involved in a pitch-side confrontation that reportedly saw him threaten to leave the camp and return to his base in Turkey.
The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially stated that the internal dispute has been resolved, with the team now fully focused on their upcoming quarter-final match against Algeria. Osimhen was observed training with the rest of the squad as they prepared for the crucial game, with the team reportedly in high spirits despite the earlier incident.
Both Osimhen and Lookman remain key players for Nigeria's campaign, with the team looking to progress past Algeria and continue their pursuit of the AFCON title. The incident highlights the intense pressure within the camp as the Super Eagles chase continental glory.
