Italian Serie A side Napoli prove they can cope without their Nigerian star Victor Osimhen as they ran out 2-1 winners over Polish side Wisla Krakow in yesterday’s pre season game.
Osimhen who has scored seven goals in four pre season games so far including a brace against Bayern Munich over the weekend was given a rest by coach Luciano Spalleti for the game in Poland.
Matteo Politano and Zinedine Machach who scored the third goal against Bayern Munich were the goal scorers in yesterday’s comeback win against the Polish side making light work of the absence of the Nigerian.
Last season Napoli struggled for goals when Osimhen wasn’t available and it appears Spalleti want to forestall a reoccurrence by trying to set up his team without the Nigerian.
One key factor can also be the fact that he won’t be available for some games in January as he will be at the Africa Cup of Nations with the senior national team of Nigeria in Cameroon.
