Lille manager, Christophe Galtier, has declared star striker, Victor Osimhen, fit to face second placed Olympique de Marseille on Sunday in a French Ligue 1 fixture, Sports Extra reports.
The Nigerian was stretchered off injured in their 2-0 win away at Angers last Friday. Osimhen scored the opener for the visitors but was taken off in the 80th minute injured.
Speaking ahead of their all-important fixture on Sunday, Galtier confirmed that the player has been training normally and will be involved in Sunday’s showdown.
“(Victor) Osimhen trains normally. He had a simple cramp against Angers.” He told the press ahead of the game.
“He took part in 100 percent of the training sessions on Friday. He is a young player, he is still discovering his body.
“He had felt pain a few minutes before and we had decided to replace him. And on his last action, he fell to the ground feeling a sharp pain, but it was just a cramp. Now he knows what it is.
“The only person who will not be available for the match is Saad Agouzoul, (injury) as well as the three suspended: Gabriel, Xeka and Benjamin André.”
