Napoli doctors are intensifying efforts to facilitate Osimhen’s recovery over the next two days, aiming for his inclusion on the bench against Atalanta in the upcoming weekend fixture.

Having commenced the season on a strong note, the 24-year-old faced a setback when an injury, sustained during Nigeria’s 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia in October, sidelined him from first-team action.

Osimhen played a pivotal role in Napoli’s goal-scoring exploits last season, contributing significantly to their triumph in the 2022-23 Serie A campaign.

The anticipation of Osimhen’s return is met with enthusiasm by new manager Walter Mazzari, who is eager to reintegrate the Nigerian striker into the squad after his brief spell on the sidelines.

While clinical clearance is imminent, Napoli is keen on ensuring Osimhen attains peak fitness before fielding him at the Gewiss Stadium, where they hope to provide him with crucial minutes to reignite his impact for the remainder of the season.

As Napoli prepares to face Atalanta, the potential return of Victor Osimhen adds a dynamic dimension to their attacking prowess, and fans eagerly await his presence on the pitch under Mazzari’s managerial reign.
