Napoli Boss Sweats over Osimhen’s Replacement

Osimhen will miss at least four weeks of action after sustaining medium-grade lesion of the biceps femoris in his right thigh during the international break with Nigeria.

The Partenopei will have to face Hellas Verona, Union Berlin and AC Milan without the star forward.

“We need all our players fit and ready to play and Osimhen out is a big loss for the team,” the under-pressure Napoli boss told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He is an important player to the team and we must find a solution in his absence.”

Since arriving Napoli, the Nigerian has scored a total of 65 goals and 15 assists in 111 games.
