Napoli reveal Osimhen’s fitness concern ahead of Leicester City clash

The 22-year-old Super Eagle picked up an injury as his team battled from a goal down to sink the Old Lady on Saturday

Napoli have confirmed striker Victor Osimhen is training on his own as they prepare to face Leicester City on Thursday.

The Nigeria international picked up an injury during the team’s 2-1 win against rivals Juventus at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium with Senegalese captain Kalidou Koulibaly popping up with a late strike to sink the Old Lady on Saturday.

It was Juventus who had taken the lead courtesy of Alvaro Morata in the 10th minute but Napoli came back a more rejuvenated side in the second half to level matters through Matteo Politano before the Senegalese star scored the winner in the 85th minute.
