• Victor Osimhen has been blamed for Napoli's failure to win the Serie A title last season despite starting well
• This latest attack is coming from respected jounalist Mario Sconcerti who says Osimhen's injury was not good
• The Nigeria international suffered a facial injury which kept him out of action for three months before returning

Italian football expert Mario Sconcerti has blamed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for the club's inability to win the Serie A title last season despite topping the table for many weeks.

Napoli truly started their campaign in the Serie A on a good note last season and they were tipped to triumph considering their performance with Victor Osimhen firing in all cylinders.

However, Victor Osimhen suffered an injury in November and was not in action for Napoli until January this year.

In total, the Nigerian featured in 27 League games netting 14 goals for Napoli throughout last football League season.

Mario Sconcerti's reaction about Victor Osimhen

“The coach is not the Napoli problem last season.

“The problems were Osimhen and his injury and the African Cup.

“Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis is right. He has been criticised for racism, but this is not the case. It is not a problem of skin colour but of calendars.”

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles assistant coach Salisu Yusuf rolled out names of 35 home based players who will tackle the Black Stars of Ghana home and away in a 2023 African Nations Championship qualifying fixture.

Nigerian players will surely be going for a revenge mission against Ghana considering the fact that the senior team prevented the Super Eagles from qualifying for the 2022 World Cup.
