The Nigerian international was instrumental to Lille’s 2-0 win over their hosts, Angers before cropping another injury off a rash challenge from the opposing defenders.

Osimhen broke the deadlock after 14 minutes into the action at the Stade Raymond Kopa, before Portuguese winger Renato Sanchez added the second, with 15 minutes of play left on the clock.
