Osimhen sustained a medium-grade biceps femoris strain in his right thigh during Nigeria’s friendly match against Saudi Arabia, forcing him to exit the pitch during the 2-2 draw.
This injury leaves Napoli without the talented 24-year-old player at the Olympiastadion Berlin. While Napoli hasn’t provided a specific timeline for Osimhen’s return, Sky Sports Italia reports indicate that such injuries typically require four to six weeks of recovery.
Consequently, it’s anticipated that Osimhen might struggle to make a comeback before the upcoming international break.
In Osimhen’s absence, Giovanni Simone and Giacomo Raspadori are set to lead Napoli’s frontline in tonight’s crucial match.
Napoli, currently positioned fifth in Serie A, will miss Osimhen’s contributions; he has been a standout performer for the team, leading the club’s scoring charts with six goals in the league this season.
His hamstring injury poses a significant setback for Napoli as they navigate important fixtures without their key player.
