Napoli’s interim coach, Francesco Calzona shared a positive development regarding Victor Osimhen’s condition ahead of their UEFA Champions League encounter with Barcelona.
Calzona, who replaced sacked Walter Mazzarri this week, revealed Osimhen is recovering from a minor muscular issue and fatigue following his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations.
The forward missed Napoli’s disappointing home draw against Genoa over the weekend, but engaged in full training on Tuesday.
“Osimhen trained with the team, naturally it was not a long session, as we had many things to do, but he was working at full tempo,” Calzona said.
The first-leg of the UEFA Champions League clash is scheduled to take place at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday.
