Super Eagles caretaker coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has explained the reason behind his decision to bench Victor Osimhen in the teams 0-0 draw against the Amavubi of Rwanda.
Osimhen was benched for the second consecutive game by Eguavoen. The Galatasaray forward came on to replace Victor Boniface after the break.
Osimhen is our brother, you cant throw the baby out with the bathwater. We know what he is going through in Napoli.
"He just moved to Galatasaray and has not been playing active football for a while now, Eguavoen told a press conference after the game with Rwanda.
We are trying to manage his fitness. He played the last 25 minutes in the previous game, and today we had a word with him that he cant play 90 minutes or else he will get injured.
