Victor Osimhen had to be stretched off in considerable pain as he suffered a serious injury to his wrist in Friday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone.
The Napoli forward, who scored Nigeria’s second goal in the eight-goal thriller at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium in Benin City, was replaced by Paul Onuachu in the 78th minute of the game.
Osimhen was challenging one of the Leone Stars defenders when he tangled and fell awkwardly on his wrist.
The former Lille and Wolfsburg forward was quickly surrounded by his teammates, before being carried from the pitch by a motorised stretcher.
