Victor Osimhen, a striker for Nigeria, risks missing a future World Cup qualifying match due to a suspension threat. He received a yellow card during the semi-final victory over Gabon for removing his shirt while celebrating a goal. This caution places him one booking away from an automatic ban.
Should the Nigerian team advance, Osimhen would be suspended for the subsequent intercontinental playoff if he receives another yellow card in the upcoming final against DR Congo. The team will also be without Wilfred Ndidi for that match, as the vice-captain is already suspended after accumulating a booking.
