Victor Osimhen has been freed by Serie A champions Napoli for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Today, Osimhen celebrates his 25th birthday.
The forward’s early release for the 2023 AFCON finals is due to his suspension for Napoli’s league match against Monza on Friday (today).
During the Partenopei’s 2-0 loss to AS Roma last week, Osimhen received a red card.
The former footballer for Lille is now on vacation in Nigeria.
The attacker will reunite with his international teammates in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on January 1. He is anticipated to be included in the Super Eagles squad for Cote d’Ivoire in 2023.
