Nigeria international, Victor Osimhen, is doubtful for Napoli’s Europa League clash with Leicester City on Thursday.
The 22-year-old was involved in Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Juventus on Saturday, playing the entire 90 minutes.
According to Napoli, he however failed to train with the squad on Monday, in preparation for the Europa League tie.
“At the training ground, the squad kicked off the session with a practice game using smaller goals, followed by group tactical work. Those who weren’t involved from the start in the defeat of Juventus then got stuck into a minimatch.
“Dries Mertens and Faouzi Ghoulam trained with the group for the full session, while Diego Demme and Victor Osimhen had individual sessions outside.
“Stanislav Lobotka received treatment and did individual work outside, with Lorenzo Insigne training in the gym after he picked up a knock on Saturday,” Napoli wrote on their website.
PUNCH Sports Extra had reported that Osimhen may miss the Leicester clash after travelling with the Eagles to Cape Verde for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
The United Kingdom government has a 10-day quarantine restriction for people returning from ‘red list’ countries, with Cape Verde on the list.
