AS a result of his late registration
for the U23 AFCON, U17 World Cup hotshot Victor Osimhen will wear the
Number 9 shirt the player he has replaced would have worn.
Osimhen also wore No 9 shirt to score record-breaking 10 goals at the recent U17 World Cup in Chile.
Granada forward Isaac Success was replaced by Osimhen after Nigeria proved he has suffered a major injury that will stop him from the U23 AFCON, which starts today in Dakar, Senegal.
Incidentally, both strikers hail from Edo State.
Skipper Azubuike Okechukwu, who is based in Turkey, will maintain his favourite jersey number 14, while Taiwo Awoniyi keeps his No 18 shirt, which he also won when he led the Flying Eagles to win the African Youth Championship in Senegal in March.
