Napoli’s dynamic forward, Victor Osimhen seeks medical green light as he eyes a return for the upcoming Atalanta showdown.

Osimhen has been sidelined since he sustained an injury during October’s international friendly against Saudi Arabia.

The 24-year-old missed the Serie A champions’ last six fixtures, and the injury also ruled him out of Nigeria’s 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.

Despite the setback, the Nigerian striker underwent a personalized training and gym session last week, indicating a positive stride in his recovery.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Napoli medical team is intensifying efforts to expedite Osimhen’s rehabilitation in the next 48 hours, paving the way for his potential inclusion in the squad to face Atalanta this Saturday.

With six goals in eight league appearances this season, Osimhen’s return could be a significant boost for Napoli as they aim to maintain their competitive edge in the Serie A.
