Osimhen back in Naples, set to watch Napoli Champions League tie Vs Union Berlin

Respected Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio says Victor Osimhen is in Naples and will be among the crowd Wednesday evening when Napoli host German side, Union Berlin in a UEFA Champions League game at the Armando Maradona stadium.

The journalist confirmed via his website that Osimhen has returned to Italy but will, expectedly, play no part in Wednesday evening’s game.

‘While the rest of the (Napoli) team is preparing to face Union Berlin in the Champions League match scheduled for Wednesday night, Victor Osimhen has returned to Italy.

‘The Nigerian, unavailable due to a medium-grade injury to the hamstring in his right leg, will probably be at Maradona to watch the match from the authority stand,’ wrote Di Marzio.

The journalist further wrote: “Napoli will therefore not be able to count on their top striker for the match against Union and in Saturday’s Serie A game against Atalanta. It will still take a couple of weeks before Osimhen definitively recovers from his injury and is back at Garcia’s disposal.

‘Since the start of the season, the 1998-born player has scored six goals and bagged an assist in 10 appearances in the league and Champions League League.’
