The Italian champions, Napoli, are reportedly concerned about Victor Osimhen’s prolonged absence from Italy. They were expecting him to commence the intensive phase of his recovery next week.
The 24-year-old striker has been out of action since October 13 due to a hamstring muscle injury sustained during Nigeria’s 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia in a friendly match. Consequently, he has missed Napoli’s last three consecutive games.
Osimhen has remained in Nigeria since the injury, keeping Napoli waiting for his return. Additionally, ongoing contract negotiations have added to the uncertainty.
