Napoli’s Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, finds himself in a state of uncertainty as he continues his recovery from injury ahead of the club’s upcoming fixture against Atalanta on March 30.
Osimhen, who sustained an injury prior to the international break, is undergoing rehabilitation in Naples.
His absence from the Nigerian national team’s recent matches against Ghana and Mali was attributed to inflammation of a scar from a previous injury, forcing him to withdraw from international duty.
Although the injury is described as minor, Napoli supporters eagerly anticipate Osimhen’s return to action.
However, concerns linger as the club provided an update indicating that the striker has yet to resume full training with the squad.
In a statement released by Napoli on Saturday, it was revealed that Osimhen has been engaging in personalized training sessions on the pitch as part of his recovery regimen.
The club remains vigilant regarding the striker’s progress as they prepare for their upcoming Serie A fixture against Atalanta at the Diego Maradona Stadium.
Osimhen’s absence has been keenly felt by Napoli, with the dynamic forward playing a pivotal role in the team’s attacking prowess.
As the reigning Serie A champions gear up for a crucial clash against Atalanta, the uncertainty surrounding Osimhen’s availability adds an element of intrigue to the fixture.
Napoli will be closely monitoring Osimhen’s fitness in the coming days, hoping for a swift recovery that will see the Nigerian talisman return to action and bolster the team’s quest for success in both domestic and European competitions.
