Spalletti expects Osimhen's return

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Luciano Spalletti who is the manager of Serie A giants, Napoli, has stated emphatically that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is expected to be back in action in the coming week.

The Super Eagles strongman has been out of action for the past two weeks after sustaining an injury while playing for his national team in the AFCON qualifiers against Guinea-Bissau.

Osimhen's injury also made the striker unavailable for his side's game against AC Milan, which they lost 4-0.

Many fans were of the view that Napoli would not have lost that game if Osimhen had played, but the good thing is that they are still topping the League table.
