Super Eagles interim manager, Austin Eguavoen, has said that he would have to decide today whether to start Victor Osimhen against the Republic of Benin.
Both teams will clash in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualifier on Saturday evening.
The match will hold at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
Osimhen was the last player to report to the Super Eagles camp.
The 25-year-old had to sort out his future, following his failure to secure a move to Chelsea or Al Ahli from Napoli during the summer transfer window.
Osimhen ended up joining Turkish side Galatasaray on loan on Thursday, after which he arrived to join the Super Eagles in training in Uyo.
Speaking on whether Osimhen will start against Benin, Eguavoen said at his pre-match press conference:
“To answer that, you know we have a pool of 23 players. So it is something I have to sleep over and then decide who starts tomorrow.”
