Osimhen, Chukwueze, Dennis injury recovery updates ahead of Nigeria's Afcon qualifier against Sierra Leone

Nigeria coach Gernor Rohr believes Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is likely to miss their 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Sierra Leone on Tuesday.

Rohr also revealed how Leon Balogun and Samuel Chukwueze are recovering well and should make the trip to Freetown.

Osimhen suffered a dislocated shoulder at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Friday and was immediately replaced by Paul Onuachu while Club Brugge forward Emmanuel Dennis did not feature in the 4-4 draw because of a swollen ankle.
