Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has been absent from the Napoli team as you might have noticed. He was absent due to an injury he sustained while on international duty with the Nigerian team.
The striker missed the Partenopei’s last two league outings against the Rossoneri and Lecce. He has not trained with the team but continues to do individual work in the gym.
However, Osimhen will go for medical tests on Tuesday (tomorrow) to determine his availability for the UCL game.
It is still anticipated that he will miss at least the first leg of Napoli’s Champions League clash with Milan – whom they recently lost 4-0 to – on Wednesday, and possibly the return tie.
According to reports from Tutto Napoli, the Nigerian star was keen to accelerate his return to action. He travelled with the club to play Lecce in order to inspire his side to win.
Napoli is expected to play against AC Milan in the quarter-final first-leg clash of the UEFA Champions League. Despite their heartbreaking loss to AC Milan, the Neapolitans are still the favourites to defeat Milan when they go to San Siro on Wednesday.
