Osimhen has been listed as one of the players to prosecute the fixture and is expected to lead the line for Nigeria when they take on the Black Stars.
The games have seen fans of both teams exchange banter and also brag about their team’s chances ahead of the game.
Nigeria and Ghana are agelong arch-rivals dating as far back as the 1960s.
Ghanaians can continue to talk about the myth sorrounding the pitch.
