No clear statement on when Osimhen is returning from injury, Galatasaray without Osimhen is missing a piece, importantly in the Champions League.

The thing about football is that they move on pretty quickly once as a player you are injured, you’re no longer performing. The club will move on, the fans who used to adore you will move on, the glitz and glamour around you will fade and you will no longer the center of attention anymore.
We have seen it happen to so many players with the one that comes to mind, victor Boniface.

Football stardom is seasonal and there is no permanent player that will always have this for a lifetime experience, except when the only choose to perform In their own season, anyone who is interested in taking advantage of this peak period for a lifetime achievement, because no one knows tomorrow and people tend to only celebrate you when they see you are of value to them, you should always remember that there are others that have been in the game before us.

They don't move on from these players, No! Rather managers do what they can to win games. There's a player Batra a defender who plays for Real Betis, he has faced one of the toughest phase of his professional career injured but he has not forget to express how he was always supported by Pellegrini.

It is the same thing with these players, you do not know the support they get from their managers, and teammates. Is Boniface not back playing for Bayer Leverkusen first team? I see it differently.

Really the feel that moving on quickly happen to every player's, because we have seen some player's that were supported all through their injuries period and helped to reintegrate back into the club as soon as they got it over with at the medical.

The only time inhave seen such issues of player's negligence by they club while on injury or unfairly treated when they have injury is in the national teams, but most European clubs know how much they spend on their players and abandoning them is not something they can easily do.

That’s why as a team you are not suppose to depend on only 1 player because anything can happen to the player at any moment. Osimhen absence is really going to affect Galatasaray most especially in the champions league, because I know how Osimhen do always perform whenever he is in a match. and I don’t really know who is going to replace osimhen in Galatasaray which is going to perform well. I just hope he will be back from the injury soon, without Osimhen I don’t really expecting Galatasaray to go far in the champions league.

Injury is something that is normal for all players wether you are the one that is carrying your team on your shoulder or you are the one that is just an average player. that is why clubs always look for alternative player even when they have a world class player because injury can come mid season and the club will have to figure out means of surviving without the player. Osimehn injury is not a strange thing because dude has had it multiple time. he is a fighter and even if he stays quite a while before returning, he will still bounce back.

Nigeria vs England U20 Women World Cup.

Nigeria beating England 3-0 as of 90 minutes.


T. Rafiu scored the first goal, J. Akekoromowei scored the second goal and M. Mamudu scored the third goal. And the way those girls are playing, they are angry. And finally Nigeria won with 3-0.

In football team and fans can move on quickly once a player can no longer help his team win games because the player is no longer important to the team with or without him, his team will win a game and lose a game. Victor Osimhen is an important player to Galatasaray his absence in the Galatasaray team, will be noticed and Galatasaray fans will be praying so hard for him to recover and rejoin the team so he can help his team win games easily, so even as he is injured Galatasaray will not move on.

Osimhen's injury was concerning, he started the season by scoring amazing goals. Galatasaray didn't injury so soon at the beginning of the season, and it is affecting their result. Truth be told about Galatasaray players, most of the players are not Champions League standard, aside from Rafael Leao and Sane, no player is a threat to opponents in the attack, now that Osimhen is injured, his teammates will have to take on the responsibility.

Indeed Nigeria U20 have accomplished the first stage and is very delighting to see them beaten England U20 because their performance was completely out of superiority against the country and with a clean sheet, congratulations to the players for being courageous enough not to give up when all the opportunity had almost ran out of them. However between Poland U20 or Colombia U20 they would be playing the next round with one of them, depending on the country that would beat each others today, but with this wining on England definitely Nigerians U20 could succeed more than there next round.

This u20 performance shows they are in good form despite their shaky beginning. They've shown resilience and team spirit, they never allowed their mistakes to weigh them down but rather they doubled up their efforts to make sure they win their matches.
I just see a new Falcons squad in the making, hopefully they will do us proud since the current Falcon's are loosing shape and formation. I hope they do us proud by coming home with the trophy 🏆 this tournament.

Victor Boniface didn’t stay in his prime for a very long time, he didn’t even get the best of attention in the Nigeria team. He did well at Bayern Leverkusen but he is now an already forgotten player due to injury. He might just be playing casual football until he retires. He doesn’t look like who will get himself back again after the long injury. At least, he has contributed his part to the success of the teams he has played for. Right now, the fans and the club will be like onto another chapter.

The list is a very familiar one because these are some of the players that have played in our previous competitions and we are very familiar with a lot of them. However I don't think Victor Osimhen should have been added in this list because he is injured, except as at when the list was been entered, Victor hasn't sustained the injury so that can be understandable. We don't really have absence of good players, because if you scan through the list, you will see that these are European players that are playing in top European clubs and lots of them are doing well, but then there should be some mixture of the home-based players especially in the midfield and defence.

World class forwards as usual. But when the time sets, only Osimhen will be hungry for goals.

The falconets are made up of competent players, I didn't see the match, but saw the headline from when the girls sent out warning to the England team to expect a defeat, I'm glad they kept to their words, 3:0 is a big win, it'll send a clear threat to the Columbian team.

DEFENDERS
Olaoluwa Aina

It is good seeing Aina's name back in the call up after his long injury spell. I really missed his defensive and atttacking contributions for the Super Eagles.

MIDFIELDERS
Alexander Iwobi / Frank Onyeka
Wilfred Ndidi / Rapheal Onyeka

The Super Eagles definitely needs more midfield options because currently I believe that is a department where we are lacking and if we can fix that and have options in the midfield, that can increase the competition in that side and the Super Eagles can level up their game. There must be players who can fill up that role, and we have them already in the local leagues or Nigerian players playing in diaspora, it should be the duties of the scouts to fill up that position now because we need to have a strong team going into the African Cup of Nation qualifiers hopefully getting to the African Cup of Nations and then making it to the World Cup this time and building the team starts from now not later.

Éric Chelle is the name of the super eagles coach. Pardon his mistake.

That was the first thing that came my mind. The midfield is part of the strongest position in a team. The super eagles lack midfielders. The options for that position is fewer than other position. I would rate only Iwobi, Onyeka and Ndidi in the upper echelon of midfielders in europe.

He did well at Bayern Leverkusen but he is now an already forgotten player due to injury. He might just be playing casual football until he retires.

Victor Boniface would have been playing for the super eagles had the been he did not allow the critics he constantly face from Nigerians anytime he did not do well for the super eagles push him to retire from international football to focus only on club football. Victor Boniface long injury did not allow him to play for Bayer Leverkusen last season. Victor Boniface was part of Bayer Leverkusen pre season tour, so i think he is going to play few games for Bayer Leverkusen this season but i do not know if he was reinstate to the Bayer Leverkusen team.

The Columbia team are a no fit for the Falconets. I really have not seen them in the play spirit just like the way the Falconets play. Maybe they could play their best but I see their best not enough to surpass the Falconets performance cone their next match. Hopefully we will win the match. They just need to put more pressure on the Columbia team and make them get frightened just the way they did to England and the other team.
