Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen has been declared fir for Lille's next game on Saturday after he was rushed to the ospital on Wednesday.

Osimhen reportedly suffered a health scare earlier in the week and will now be available against Monaco.



The 20-year-old felt dizzy and also had pains in his chest during a League Cup match against the Red and Whites on Tuesday and was rushed to the hospital.

Osimhen scored a goal in the fixture which ended 3-0 in their favour before he was replaced by Loic Remy in the 23rd minute.

At the end of the game, Lille boss Christophe Galtier eased the fear of a serious injury and their highest-scoring player this season has been declared available for their second visit to Stade Louis II within a week.

Osimhen who has scored 12 goals across all competitions so far this term, will be looking to extend his tally of nine league goals against Henry Onyekuru and Islam Slimani's Monaco.
