Osimhen injury: Boost for Napoli as Nigeria star returns to training

Napoli have confirmed the return to training of striker Victor Osimhen ahead of their Serie A fixture against Verona on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Nigeria international last featured for the Parthenopeans in the 3-0 win against Bologna on October 28 but he later suffered a muscle strain in training that saw him miss two matches – the 1-0 Serie A win against Salernitana and the 4-1 win against Legia Warsaw in the Europa League.

Ahead of their home game against Verona at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, Napoli have confirmed in a statement that the Super Eagle managed the entire training session without a problem and will be in line to play this weekend.
