Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, has launched a scathing attack on Finidi George, who has resigned as the head coach of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

It is claimed that Finidi accused Osimhen of pulling out of games for the national team with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

Osimhen, who netted 15 goals for Napoli in Serie A this season, claims he suffered an ankle injury against Lecce on May 25.<\/p>\n

And although he was planning to travel to the Super Eagles camp ahead of their two 2026 World Cup qualifiers, he was told not to by Finidi.<\/p>\n

In an angry Instagram Live video, Osimhen said: \u201cI won\u2019t let anyone believe anything about me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t just address anything, everybody knows when I play for Nigeria I play my heart out, I just let everything go.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I won\u2019t take disrespect from anybody<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them.\u201d<\/p>\n
