Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has responded to former Super Eagles head coach Finidi George’s remarks regarding his dedication to the national team.

Osimhen missed the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic due to an injury.

Finidi suggested that the striker could have played through the injury.

In response, the 25-year-old striker has criticized the former winger for his comments.

“I 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,” he reacted on Instagram.

“Now after two bad games, everybody is now blaming me.

“I know how many injuries I’ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.”

Finidi resigned from his position as Super Eagles head coach on Saturday.
