Serie A: Napoli lament Osimhen’s injury-induced layoff

Napoli manager, Rudi Garcia has confessed the club will miss Victor Osimhen following the Nigerian’s latest injury setback.

Osimhen returned to Naples last weekend after sustaining a thigh injury on international duty.

The powerful striker could spend around four to six weeks on the sidelines, according to reports.

Garcia admitted it will be difficult for the club to cope with the absence of the 24-year-old.

“We need all our players fit and ready to play and Osimhen out is a big loss for the team,” Garcia told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“He is an important player to the team and we must find a solution in his absence.”

The forward has scored eight goals in 10 appearances across all competitions for the Partenopei this season.
