Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, has taken a swipe at Finidi George, who has resigned as the head coach of Nigeria.
It is claimed that Finidi accused Osimhen of pulling out of games for the national team with minor injuries.
Osimhen, who netted 15 goals for Napoli in Serie A this season, claims he suffered an ankle injury against Lecce on May 25.
And although he was planning to travel to the Super Eagles camp ahead of their two 2026 World Cup qualifiers, he was told not to by Finidi.
In an Instagram Live video, Osimhen said he would not accept disrespect and opened up on why he was not taking part in the World Cup Qualifiers.
He said;
: “I won’t let anyone believe anything about me.
“I don’t just address anything, everybody knows when I play for Nigeria I play my heart out, I just let everything go.
“But I won’t take disrespect from anybody
“I’ll share the screenshot and videos of my conversation with Finidi for the sake of those believing what Finidi said.
“I’ve lost respect for that man because before I disrespect anybody, I always respect them.”
