Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen is scheduled to miss this year’s CAF Awards in Rabat, Morocco, on Wednesday.
Osimhen has returned to Galatasaray for an MRI scan on the hamstring injury he sustained on international duty with the Super Eagles.
The 26-year-old did not appear for the second half of their 2026 World Cup playoff final against the Democratic Republic of Congo last Sunday.
Osimhen, who won the award in 2023, is competing for it for the second time in his career.
This year, he will face Egyptian and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, as well as PSG and Morocco’s Achraf Hakimi.
