Napoli’s Nigerian center forward must deal with an injury after a turbulent start to the season.
Everything is not simple for Victor Osimhen in this first part of the season. Reigning Italian champion, the Naples striker was injured Friday evening during a friendly match between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia (2-2) played in Portimao (Portugal).
🗣️🎙️ Jose Peseiro On Victor Osimhen’s injury: “At this moment, it is my decision. Will I select a player with an injury, knowing he could potentially be out for a month or even two? It is better to put it in his mind now. He is going to do the test.” pic.twitter.com/NnyzjdFpTq

Osimhen is almost out of the other Super Egales match scheduled for Monday against Mozambique, coach José Peseiro said on Saturday without specifying the nature of the injury.
This is another small blow for Victor Osimhen. The 24-year-old striker has experienced some delicate moments in his relationship with Rudi Garcia and the Naples club at the start of the season.
The Italian champions must consider Victor Osimhen’s package for the resumption of the Italian Championship, October 21 on the pitch of Hellas Verona.
