Osimhen fit for South Africa cracker

Sports Brief earlier reported that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been declared fit to play the semi-final against South Africa on Wednesday, February 7.

The Napoli man was a serious doubt due to abdominal discomfort, which prevented him from travelling with the squad to Bouake.

Nigeria are looking to reach their first AFCON final since 2013 and will need their striker fit for the final on Sunday if they are to do so.
