In a disappointing setback for Napoli, their star player and leading Serie A scorer, Victor Osimhen, has been ruled out of the upcoming Champions League quarter-final first leg against AC Milan. This news comes as a result of Osimhen’s failure to recover in time from a thigh injury he sustained while on international duty.
According to reports, Osimhen had been in a “race against time” to regain his fitness before Wednesday’s match at the San Siro. However, the Nigeria striker did not participate in team training on Tuesday and was ultimately left out of the squad announced before the team’s departure to Milan.
