Sassuolo manager Alessio Dionisi says his side must be wary of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.
Sassuolo will host Luciano Spalletti’s side at the Stadio Mapei – Citta del Tricolore on Friday.
Napoli are the favorites to win this season’s Scudetto, having opened a 15 points lead ahead of second placed Inter Milan, while Sassuolo are fighting for their life in the Calcio.
Dionisi said facing in-form Osimhen who has scored 17 goals in 18 league game for the Partenopei this season is a huge task.
Dionisi explained why the 24-year-old is difficult to stop by defenders.
“In Serie A, he’s a player who makes the difference,” Dionisi told Dazn as per Tutto Napoli.
“If you defend low in the area he’s almost unstoppable, for us he’s unstoppable. If you defend high, he attacks spaces, maybe he can grow in the straits.”
Osimhen has scored in six consecutive games for Napoli in 2023. The form earned him Serie A player of the month, the latest Napoli player to win the accolade.
