Osimhen: Ex-Napoli doctor De Nicola questions the handling of Super Eagles star

The striker missed 16 matches but still managed to score 10 league goals and three assists as his team went on to finish fifth in Serie A

Former SSC Napoli doctor Alfonso De Nicola has discussed Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen's injury in a way that raises serious questions.

The forward sustained a shoulder injury while turning out for the national team in November 2020 and took time on the sidelines before coming back strongly. However, he was not able to inspire his team to qualify for the Champions League after the final-day 1-1 draw at home.
