“He has malaria but should be fine in no time,” a top team official said.
The 2015 U17 World Cup MVP and record goal king has also suffered a shoulder dislocation in the Flying Eagles but recovered in time to feature in an U20 AFCON qualifier in Burundi last month.

Seventeen-year-old Osimhen has signed a pre-contract agreement to join German Bundesliga outfit Wolfsbourg in January 2017.
