Fitness boosts don't come much bigger! Nigeria confirm Napoli hitman Victor Osimhen is back just in time for South Africa AFCON semi-final showdown

After missing his team's flight to Bouake on Monday due to discomfort, there were fears that the striker would miss the last-four tie against South Africa. However, Nigeria have confirmed that he is back among his team-mates.

An update from the national team read: "Victor Osimhen has been declared fit and available for selection in the semi-final clash against South Africa on Wednesday. He has joined the team in Bouake and has trained with the squad today."

The news comes as a huge boost for the Super Eagles as Osimhen is the star figure for the African nation. He has scored one goal and registered two assists so far in the continental competition, helping steer them through the group stage and past Cameroon and Angola to reach the last four.

The Napoli star will likely be in the starting XI when his team take on South Africa on Wednesday. Nigeria are looking to reach the final for the first time since 2013, when they went all the way to win the competition in South Africa.
