Ahead of their opening UEFA Champions League opener against Liverpool, Napoli have confirmed that star striker, Victor Osimhen has suffered a muscle injury with his availability in doubt.
The Nigerian forward trained alone on Monday as revealed by the Serie A outfit.
Luciano Spalletti’s said in a released statement which reads: ‘Osimhen trained separately from the team due to a muscle problem suffered in the final minutes of Lazio-Napoli.’
Osimhen has already scored two goals in five games so far this season. Last campaign he scored 18 goals in all competitions.
If Liverpool don’t have to face the threat of Osimhen in Italy then it could give them greater hope of securing victory, although they won’t be taking anything for granted against a Napoli side that are in second place in Serie A.
