Osimhen will lead Nigeria’s attack in Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matchday five encounter.

The 26-year-old has been in fantastic form for Turkish Süper Lig champions Galatasaray this season.

The forward has registered 26 goals and five assists in 30 matches across all competitions for the Yellow and Reds.

Maurice emphasized the importance of curtailing Osimhen.

“Osimhen is on fire, and we will try to stop him in this match,” Maurice was quoted as saying by SCORENigeria.

“Nigeria have top-quality players, but we’re not afraid; we only respect them.

“Nigeria have never won in Rwanda. We’re all excited ahead of this match, and our fans will troop out in numbers to support the team.”
