BREAKING: 'I will be available for AFCON'- Super Eagles star Osimhen confirms he won't miss Cameroon party

SSC Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has confirmed that he will be availble for next's AFCON tournament in Cameroon if selected by the Super Eagles coaches.

Osimhen revealed this through a post on his official social media page on Tuesday afternoon.

"I will be available for AFCON 100%," Osimhen's post on Twitter read. "Unless if i am not among the players picked to represent Nigeria," the former youth international added.

The 22-year-old has not played competitive football since he went under the knife late last month following a head collision with Inter Milan's Milan Skriniar at San Siro.

Consequently, Osimhen was ruled out for three months with a broke his eye socket and cheekbone after a surgery where he needed 18 screws and six titanium plates, ruling him out of the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.

However, his latest comments will be a huge boost to the interim coach, Austin Eguavoen, who has since replaced former coach, Gernot Rohr whose contract was terminated in December.

 "Thankful to God Almighty, i sincerely appreciate those who reached out to me, God bless you and yours. No time to dwell on past transgressions, looking forward to the greater things ahead💯God Is The Greatest🙌🏽We Move @officialsscnapoli," he posted after his return to training early December for the first time since the surgery. 

Osimhen was spotted back in training with his club, Napoli, on Tuesday, wearing a special face mask.

He scored five goals in 11 appearances in the Serie A before his injury but has not featured for the Naples side since that 3-2 defeat to Inter on November 21.
