Super Eagles Defender Bright Osayi-Samuel Suffers Food Poisoning

Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel has revealed that he suffered food poisoning just a few hours before Nigeria took on hosts Cote d’Ivoire in their second group clash of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), soccernet.ng reports.

Osayi-Samuel was Nigeria’s most reliable right-back in 2023, featuring regularly and helping the Super Eagles qualify for the AFCON.

His participation from the start is now in doubt after he revealed to reporters that he had experienced food poisoning that had made him weak.

However, in a video captured by Brila FM, the former QPR winger assured fans that he expects to be fine and stronger for the highly anticipated meeting with Côte d’Ivoire.

The injury ruled out Taiwo Awoniyi, Wilfred Ndidi, Victor Boniface, and Umar Sadiq from participating in the continental championship.

Despite this, Osayi-Samuel impressed after replacing Aina in the second half, and the Fenerbahçe star likely anticipated making his full AFCON debut against Côte d’Ivoire on Thursday.

His participation from the start is now uncertain following his disclosure of food poisoning, which has left him feeling weak.

The Super Eagles have been plagued by a multitude of player health concerns leading into the 2023 AFCON, and they will hope Osayi-Samuel does not join that unfortunate list.
