Nigeria international Victor Osimhen has been termed a huge doubt for Napoli ahead of tomorrow’s UEFA Champions League first group game against Liverpool.
Napoli will be playing in the UEFA Champions League for the first time in two years and a fine start to the season has already led to talks of the team performing way better than they did when they last appeared in the tournament.
According to a statement on the website of the Italian team, Osimhen didn’t train with the rest of the team during yesterday’s session as he is nursing a knock picked up during the closing stages of their 2-1 win over Lazio in the Serie A over the weekend.
A small issue with his left adductor to be precise and although in itself is not excessively worrying, it could be aggravated if he takes part in full training in preparation for the game against Liverpool.
The little time left to properly diagnosed the issue before the game is largely why he is a doubt but he is adamant that he is fit enough to play the game. His extra ordinary will and indomitable character is making him hopeful of being fit for the game.
However Napoli are careful not to push him to the limit after two injury ravaged season. Osimhen isn’t seeing it that way and has told coach Luciano Spalleti that he is available for selection.
