During the last international break, Victor Osimhen was injured with Nigeria against Saudi Arabia. Hit in the right thigh, the leading striker found himself away from the pitch at the worst of times, while Napoli had a mixed start to the season. But at a press conference, before the match against Salernitana at 3 p.m., Rudi Garcia was rather positive about the Nigerian’s situation.
“Victor Osimhen received the agreement from the club and I heard it by message. But the doctors are managing his condition. They assured me that he was following protocol, that everything was fine and that he would be with us next week.”, explains Rudi Garcia. Reassuring news therefore, for the current 5th in Serie A who will face Union Berlin next Wednesday in the Champions League, then Empoli four days later in the championship.
