Asamoah Gyan Accuses Osimhen Of Faking Injury In World Cup Qualifiers by dominique(mod): 1:10pm On Sep 11, 2025

Former Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan has accused Nigeria forward Victor Osimhen of faking injury to miss the Super Eagles’ 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa.

Osimhen returned to Galatasaray after picking up a leg injury in Nigeria’s 1-0 win over Rwanda last weekend, ruling him out of Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Bafana Bafana at the Free State Stadium.

Galatasaray later confirmed the 26-year-old had suffered an ankle ligament injury. However, Gyan questioned the legitimacy of the claim, suggesting it was a cover to keep the striker fresh for club duties.

“I know these tricks. Someone said to Osimhen, ‘Look, we spent a lot of money on you. The Champions League is coming up.

“We don’t like you going to Africa but go there and play a bit, then get injured and lie on the ground and act like it’s serious. The next day you’ll be in Türkiye,’” Gyan was quoted by habersarikirmizi.

Thought as much...... Truth is that I didn't really see that as an injury,and every good football observer ought to know that .....Well,the damage has already been done and it's absolutely rubbish to pin the blames on one individual..

Omo the whole team doesn't deserve to qualify. Don't single out V09

And the NFF needs a Real Footballer as head, you can see the dismal performance during the WCQf

We all know he fakes part of it, because he knows Nigeria won't qualify, so he doesn't want to be part of the blame players..

Majority of these players are earning big, so when they come to Nigeria, they are only coming to play big boy game...

Exactly the mental set of our players when they are in the green Jersey. It is not about patriotism. Nigerian men though.

The point remains even if he had played we would have lost. Now we have to focus on making it to the qualifiers. The team has no rhythm has no flow they can't win the World Cup so what's the point

When Finidi George said it as an experienced player, y'all canceled him, all because he touched the golden boy.

2face said: remember say no be only you sabi play ball.

Finidi sabi play
Asamoah Gyan also sabi play ball.

They know when an injury is manageable, if the player is hungry enough.

He sure knows what he's talking about, the clubs hold the Aces, especially when they spent tons of money bringing you in as an A-list player.
