Kindly share this story:
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is in to Nigeria to continue his recovery from the injury he suffered during the recent Super Eagle’s friendly against Saudi Arabia, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Osimhen flew to Germany alongside his teammates, who were going for a Champions League group stage game against Union Berlin on Wednesday, but did not stay with them. The striker instead flew to Nigeria for personal reasons.
“Victor Osimhen was traveling to Frankfurt but not to stay in Germany and obviously not to follow the team to Berlin as some had suspected after the images among the fans in Capodichino. The striker had flown to Frankfurt on Tuesday but to reach Nigeria for personal reasons. The attacker had already spoken about it with De Laurentiis. The trip was therefore planned,” the Italian publication read.
The report also stated that the Neapolitan striker is continuing his recovery process in Nigeria, as it will take at least another 30 days to see him back on the pitch together with his teammates.
