Victor Osimhen has drawn the reaction of Nigerian football fans after he was spotted partying with Burna Boy at a Lagos nightclub despite being injured.

Osimhen was not selected for the Super Eagles squad for the October games for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the doubleheader against Libya.

He got injured during Galatasaray's 3-3 draw against Kasimpasa minutes after scoring his first two goals for the Turkish champions, having joined on a season-long loan from Napoli.

The video has drawn the reaction of Nigerians, who lampooned him for choosing to party despite being injured and withdrawing from the national team assignment.

@ebuka_montana replied: ''See person wey dey 6 weeks injury 😂😂, thank God say this guy no come my club. Unprofessional fellow.”

@Yab_Them replied: “Anybody wey yap dust go collect”

The first comment was about a failed proposed move to Chelsea on the summer transfer deadline day after both parties failed to agree on personal terms.

The transfer divided the Nigerian fans, some of whom are Chelsea fans, forming different opinions about the football ability and personality of the player.

Chelsea have not totally ruled out the possibility of trying again in the January transfer window, with a reported break clause inserted into his loan to Galatasaray.
