The Confederation of African Football, CAF has picked Nigerian international, Victor Osimhen for a random drug test after his sterling outing against Cameroon in Saturday’s Round of 16 match of the ongoing AFCON 2023.
Osimhen was the driving force in the 2-0 win for the Super Eagles with his desperation to win the ball.
In such an instance, Osimhen dispossessed a Cameroon defender of the ball and made a low pass to Lookman for the opening goal.
He chased down every ball and remained a constant threat to the Cameroon defence throughout his time on the pitch.
His tireless display has attracted the attention of CAF, leading to his being picked for a random test.
Usually, players are picked by drawing of lot for all the players in a matchday squad.
However, a player can also be picked randomly if they notice any unusual behaviour.
Additionally, sources revealed that two Cameroonian players also underwent similar tests, noting that Osimhen is not the sole player involved in the tournament.
Meanwhile, recall that the 2013 AFCON champions are set to face Angola in the quarterfinals of the 2023 AFCON tournament, aiming for a positive outcome to secure their spot in the semi-finals on Friday.
