An angry Osimhen went live on Instagram, stating he would not tolerate any disrespect after Finidi allegedly questioned his national team commitment, Soccernet reports.

While some ex-internationals and fans have called on the player to apologise, others suggest that Osimhen was right about the outburst.

Finidi, however claimed the 25-year-old did not respond to his message, but that Osimhen seemed to have sent something, but later deleted it.

The Rivers United manager said on Nigerian Info:

"I sent him a message privately. What did you hear that you're going hard like this? I said this is not fair. You can ask people that were there.

"I sent him a message privately, which he didn't respond. It's like he sent me a message and deleted it. So I couldn't read what he sent, I didn't know if he apologised or he didn't. I couldn't read his message before he deleted it.
