Napoli confirm Victor Osimhen injury concerns ahead Liverpool clash

Napoli confirm Victor Osimhen injury concerns ahead Liverpool clash

The Italian Serie A giants will host the former English Premier League champions in the opening match of this season’s UCL on Wednesday

Napoli could be without their leading striker Victor Osimhen when the Italian Serie A campaigners trade tackles with Liverpool on Wednesday on matchday one of the 2022-2023 UEFA Champions League group stage.

On Saturday, Osimhen played from start to finish as Napoli defeated Lazio 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico in Roma.

But Napoli have confirmed that the Super Eagles striker picked up a knock toward the end of that encounter.

As a result, the 23-year-old did not join in training with his teammates on Monday morning at the Konami Training Centre. He trained separately from the others.

It is unclear, though, if the injury will keep him out of the opening-round meeting with Liverpool.

It will be a disappointment for the Nigeria international if it does.

Osimhen has not featured in the UEFA Champions League since leaving Lille two years ago.

The former Sporting Charleroi forward netted two goals in five games in his only group-stage outing for Lille in Europe’s premier club competition.

During the 2021-2022 season, Osimhen managed four goals in five appearances in the Europa League for Napoli.

The exciting attacker already has two goals, and one assist in five Serie A matches this term.
