Nigeria earned one point away against South Africa in the match Osimhen didn't play in.
Benin currently holds the advantage in points, but Nigeria will have a home game against Benin.
Nigeria absolutely must win that match, or Nigeria won't qualify for the World Cup.
My main concern is Osimhen's condition. He suffered an injury and returned to Türkiye by private plane. According to the statement, he suffered bleeding and a bruise on his leg. How long will this injury last? There's a Champions League match next Thursday. Will he be ready for that match? Or will he be on the pitch for the league match next weekend?
I don't think he'll be on the pitch until Thursday, but we'll have to wait and see what the doctors' treatment will be.

Osimhen playing Champions League depends on how fast he recover from the injury but I don’t see Osimhen playing the first games in the Champions League. So did you think that Osimhen absent affect Nigeria to win the match against South Africa? For me, I don't think Nigerian players are serious. Osimhen helps Nigeria a lot by scoring goals when they need it, but Nigeria can't rely on Osimhen, a country can't rely on one player because of what's going on now. After Osimhen was injured, no player wanted to stand up to assist Nigeria score qualify for the World Cup, if the players couldn't win a game without Osimhen, why would they come to play for Nigeria?

Nigeria players need to be serious, and I am not happy with the current coach, even if he has never lost a game, but ending games with draws that we need to win is not good, and it is one of the reasons why Nigeria is at this point now, some still believe that Nigeria can still qualify for the World Cup, but I don't think it will happen because we didn't use the opportunity to qualify. Nigeria hasn't competed in the World Cup in a long time, and the players don't seem to mind, maybe they like it when Nigerians support other teams in the World Cup.
