The striker returned to training some days back after undergoing surgery following the horrific face injury sustained in a serie A clash last month.

Osimhen also took to his verified Twitter handle to announce his readiness to be part of the continental football showpiece in Cameroon. 

“I am 100% ready to represent Nigeria at the 2021 AFCON, if I am picked by the coaches,” Osimhen said.
