For African soccer fans and players, there’s no doubt which takes priority in the club vs. country debate. Victor Osimhen cannot play for Napoli when he’s trying to steer Nigeria to its first title since 2013; Mohamed Salah was injured in his second game for Egypt in a blow for Liverpool; and Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga challenge has been complicated by the absence of four players. Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface is out for months to recover from a thigh injury sustained in Nigeria’s tournament preparations.
