Earlier, Coach Chelle had commented on Osimhen's absence from the Nigerian squad. He suggested that the player was focused on resolving his club future, which was why he was not at the optimal level to participate in the match. Chelle had stated, "Victor Osimhen is not in the squad because he is about to change clubs. Therefore, I prefer him to stay at home because if he plays and doesn't perform at 100%, it won't be good."
