Napoli Recieve Massive Boost As Victor Osimhen Recovers From Shoulder Injury

Victor Osimhen has recovered from the lengthy 2-month shoulder injury he sustained while on international duty with Nigeria, according to Italian newspaper, Repubblica via ilnapolista.it.

Osimhen appeared to be worming his way into the team and into form, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist in his last 5 games before the injury.

The 21-year-old’s injury setback had seen him miss six important Serie A games and four Europa League matches.

Osimhen who turns 22 in five days time is expected to return from Belgium, along with Dries Mertens, where they have been undergoing rehabilitation.

The striker will then be available for team training on Tuesday, 29 December, ahead of his team’s visit to Cagiliari on January, 3 2021.

His return will no doubt prove a massive boost to the Azzurris who have won just 1 point from their last 3 games.

Osimhen is rated by the reliable Transfermarkt as Napoli’s most valuable player.
