Napoli Lose Injured Osimhen For Milan Clash
Leading Serie A team Napoli will be without star striker Victor Osimhen on Sunday when they face defending champions AC Milan due to a groin injury, his club announced on Friday.
With 21 goals in Serie A, the 24-year-old Nigerian international has propelled Napoli to the brink of their first Serie A championship since the late Diego Maradona guided them to the 1990 Scudetto.
After returning from international service, he will have to miss Sunday’s match, according to the club, who noted that the player “complained of groin pain and medical tests revealed the injury.
Next week, his condition will be evaluated, the team said.
With 11 games left, Napoli has a 19-point advantage over Lazio, who is their nearest pursuer.
Milan’s championship defense has been lackluster, and they currently sit in fourth place, 23 points behind Napoli.
