Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen has hit back at former Super Eagles head coach, Finidi George over his comments on his commitment towards the national team.<\/p>\n

Osimhen missed the Super Eagles recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic due to injury.<\/p>\n

Finidi stated that the striker could still have managed to play the two matches.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has now fired back at the former winger.<\/p>\n

\u201cI asked Finidi George to allow me stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother that I should stay with my family,\u201d he reacted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow after two bad games, everybody is now blaming me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how many injuries I\u2019ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finidi resigned from his position as Super Eagles head coach on Saturday.<\/p>\n
