On Saturday, during a live Instagram video, Osimhen expressed his frustration over comments made by Finidi. He explained that he wished to stay with the team during the camp despite his injury.
“I knew things like these would happen and that’s why I have the videos and screenshots of when I called Finidi while I was with the doctor in Germany.
“I got injured in our (Napoli’s) last game against Lecce and I went to the MRI scan. And I called Finidi there for him to listen to the doctor too,” Osimhen said.
Osimhen further explained, “I asked Finidi George to allow me stay with the players in the camp, but Finidi asked me not to bother that I should stay with my family.”
The player was clear about his feelings, saying, “I’m not addressing anything, everybody knows I play my heart out whenever I’m playing for the club or national team. I’ll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.”
“I’ve lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them,” he added.
Osimhen also mentioned feeling unfairly blamed after two bad games, saying, “I know how many injuries I’ve played with for Nigeria and I played my heart out but after two bad games, everybody is attacking me.”
