Napoli have confirmed that their Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen has returned positive for a coronavirus test on Friday, Sports247 reports.
The 22-year-old had been away for Christmas break. On arrival in Naples, the former Lille star was subjected to the compulsory Covid-19 PCR test and his Serie A outfit disclosed that Osimhen posted a positive test.
“Napoli report that footballer Victor Osimhen tested positive for the molecular naso-pharyngeum swab on his return from abroad yesterday afternoon. The player is asymptomatic and has not met the team group,” the club posted on Twitter.
Osimhen had been out of action since dislocating his shoulder on international duty back in November 2020.
This recent development would serve as a further setback to the marksman who was closing in on a return to action.
