Published: November 09, 2023Through their official website, Italian champions Napoli have provided an injury update on Victor Osimhen, a day after they were held to a 1-1 draw by German Bundesliga outfit Union Berlin in the UEFA Champions League.
The Nigeria international, along with his agent Roberto Calenda, was spotted in the stands watching the matchday four fixture at the Diego Maradona Stadium on Wednesday, same day he returned to Naples to continue his rehabilitation.
The center forward was in Lagos for approximately two weeks, with the approval of Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, to resolve some personal issues.

Napoli have coped well without their talisman, having won three matches and drawn two.
