"It’s not that I don’t care, but whether it’s Osimhen or Russo, injured together, cannot play, and therefore I focus on who can play."

Osimhen has picked up where he left off last season in this campaign as he has scored six goals in 10 games in all competitions in the 2023-24 season.

Napoli are missing the Super Eagles star's brilliance in front of goal since his injury, with their last game ending in a 2-2 draw against AC Milan.
