Yakubu Aiyegbeni, ex-Nigeria international, has called on Cyriel Dessers and Tolu Arokodare to step up in Victor Osimhen’s absence for the Super Eagles.

Aiyegbeni made the plea ahead of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against South Africa on Tuesday evening.

Recall that Osimhen, who suffered an injury against Rwanda, will not take part in the South Africa clash.

“For sure Victor Osimhen wants to play but he’s not going to be available,” Aiyegbeni told Soccer Beat.

“We have other strikers [Tolu Arokodare and Cyriel Dessers]. They need to step up and try to be the main man so that we don’t depend on one player.

“We know how Osimhen fights in the pitch and now we’ve players in the team I think it is time for them to step up and make the country proud.”
