Nigeria and Napoli forward Victor Osimhen has suffered another injury blow, a month after returning from a facial injury that kept him out of football for close to three months.
The injury and subsequent surgery saw him miss the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria and might likely miss the World Cup qualifiers playoff against Ghana on the 24th of March and 27th of March respectively.
Reports from Italy said he missed the team’s training today with a muscular discomfort and will undergo a scan tomorrow to determine the severity of the injury.
Already his participation in their Europa League round of 32 game against Barcelona is in doubt with some outlet speculating that he won’t be part of the sqaud for the game tomorrow.
A scan will determine the length of time he will be out injured. Usually injury related to the muscle need a minimum of three weeks to heal and if that is the case then he will be battling to be match fit for the games against Ghana in March.
