Nigeria star Victor Osimhen has hit out at coach Finidi George for comments that were made earlier this week.
Osimhen missed the Super Eagles' 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin this past week due to injury.
According to Nigerian media, Finidi was quoted as saying he cannot beg the Napoli star to play for the national team following his injury.

Osimhen took to Instagram and went live to express his displeasure with the George, who has since reportedly resigned from his post.
"I knew things like these would happen and that's why I have the videos and screenshots of when I called Finidi while I was with the doctor in Germany," Osimhen said, as per the PUNCH.
"I got injured in our (Napoli's) last game against Lecce and I went to the MRI scan. And I called Finidi there for him to listen to the doctor too.
"I called him (Finidi) and asked him to allow me to come to the camp to be with the boys and I spoke to some of my teammates too but he said I have to be with my family.
"I'm not addressing anything, everybody knows I play my heart out whenever I'm playing for the club or national team. I'll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.
"I've lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them."
