Osimhen Steps Up as Eagles Captain: Morocco Semi-Final Beckons!

Victor Osimhen dons the Super Eagles armband for Wednesday's AFCON 2025 semi-final blockbuster against hosts Morocco at Rabat's Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium, filling skipper Wilfred Ndidi's suspension void from yellows against Mozambique and Algeria. The Napoli marksman, Nigeria's vice-captain and tournament talisman with knockout strikes including Saturday's Algeria clincher alongside Akor Adams, leads Eric Chelle's unbeaten side chasing a record fourth crown amid Fes recovery drills post-Marrakech heroics.

Coach eyes Raphael Onyedika slotting into Ndidi's midfield anchor role, with Frank Onyeka, Calvin Bassey available despite bookings, but Bright Osayi-Samuel's late limp demands fitness checks – Ryan Alebiosu looms as backup. Osimhen's leadership flexes amid Morocco's home roar and 50-year title drought after Cameroon semis romp, Naija fans flooding green seas despite Ndidi blow – streets pulse Wembley revenge dreams from 1994 semis.

X erupts in #OsimhenCaptain hype, tying to Funke's N2B screens and NGX N745bn bulls – Eagles march on grit, Lookman ice, and Osimhen fire. Semi teeters on tactics vs. passion. Naija nation holds breath.
