Victor Osimhen sustained an adductor injury while away with the Nigerian national team and now there is a chance he misses all three games against AC Milan.
According to Calciomercato.com, the certainty is that Osimhen will not be there for the game on Sunday night between the Partenopei and the Rossoneri at the Maradona, but the biggest doubt and concern is the quarter-final meeting in the Champions League.
An absence of 20 days is expected for Osimhen as per the source, which would see him miss both the first leg match on April 12 and the return match on April 18. Further checks will be carried out next week, but it seems he can certainly be ruled out of the first leg.
Meanwhile, Sky reported Francesco Modugno (via MilanNews) confirmed that Osimhen will certainly miss Sunday’s match against Milan and the following one against Lecce, but the hope is to at least get him back for the Champions League quarter-finals. The stoppage is estimated at around 15-20 days.
Giovanni Simeone is the favourite to take the spot of the former Lille man and he scored the winner against Milan at San Siro earlier in the season, while Giacomo Raspadori is set to return soon after a month’s absence.
THE DEMON IS OUT
Good news lets hope they collapse. Perfect timing
U should write and talk less…that would favor you
I agree with drifter… first napoli is much better than us and we should respect them and be happy if they won serie a or the ucl! Not write pathetic comments like this.
While it helps not having to face that beast, Napoli have great depth in attack. They also play as a slick attcking unit, unlike Milan.
So as always, the question mark is not what Napoli will turn up but rather, what Milan will turn up?
Was it a friendly? I’m a fan of international football but they definitely need to balance the schedules better, these injuries really take away from the club part.
I think we should sign this guy he loves Milan he don’t like playing against us nor watch us destroyed by him
Personally sad 😔 not to see him play s as he’s a joy to watch plus if we miraculously dump them out they’ll say that’s why. That being said still a really tough match
Anything there like there should say as long as we are through we didn’t play Tottenham fully fit squad now there are some games we play without our key players now so it’s football sometimes it happens atlist there have another players there are games Leo Theo giroud ben tomori don’t play and we lose or win so it’s part of football to me is an advantage oo and we should capitalize on it such things don’t come in every time
Alhamdulillah
Unbelievable striker. Don’t like that he is hurt again however happy he could possibly miss all 3 matches against us.
With or without him we will play our best football , if no because of super mike injury we could retain been position than now
