Victor Osimhen will not be available for selection when Napoli take on Ajax in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday according to reports.
Osimhen
has been on the sidelines since the 7th of September when he sustained
a hamstring injury in Napoli’s 4-1 victory over Liverpool. The injury was
supposed to rule him out of action for 4-6 weeks.
There were earlier reports that the former Lille man
would be available for selection when Napoli square off against, albeit he
could make only a cameo appearance.
Also, Osimhen returned to personalized training last
week, fuelling talks that he could return soon.
However, the Nigerian striker may have to wait till
next weekend before he can make his comeback.
According
to Napoli Magazine, Osimhen is very close to full recovery, but considering
Giovanni Simeone and Giacomo Raspadori’s form, they are in no haste to throw
the Nigerian striker into the thick of the action.
Nonetheless, Osimhen would likely make his return at
Cremonese on Saturday.
