    Scan to reveal extent of Osimhen’s hamstring injury tomorrow

    Victor Osimhen’s injury scan result will be relased tomorrow and it will determine the extent of a hamstring injury suffered by the attacker on Friday night when Super Eagles faced Saudi Arabia.

    The Napoli striker walked out of the game in the 55th minute without any help due to the injury.

    A team official told journalists that the severity of the injury will be known by tomorrow morning after an MRI scan was done today in Portugal.

    Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro said Osimhen is likely to miss Monday’s friendly against Mozambique also in Portugal.

    Osimhen has six goals in Serie A this season and was the league’s top scorer as Napoli won the title last season. Before Napoli, he played in clubs in Germany and France.

    EPL: Alex Iwobi’s return date revealed by Everton’s Medics

    Super Eagles and Everton midfielder, Alex Iwobi’s return date has been revealed by the Toffees medics after a scan was carried out on the player’s ankle injury.

    According to the medics’ report, the player will be back in exactly two weeks’ time.

    Recall that Iwobi was badly brought down by Tyrell Malacia in Everton’s Emirates FA Cup 3-1 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford on Friday night.

    Iwobi’s injury was initially feared that it would be a lengthy one but the Everton medics have allayed such fears.

    “Appreciate The Love, Back Soon,” Iwobi wrote on his Twitter handle.

    The 26-year-old has played every minute of Everton’s 18 Premier League games this season.

    The Nigeria international has been voted Everton’s best player so far this season after putting up impressive performances on a regular basis for the Toffees.
