Naples, Osimhen misses the plane: the return trip is postponed

No responsibility for the striker, who is still expected later today: he will immediately undergo the first medical tests in Castelvolturno

Victor Osimhen’s arrival in Naples was delayed by several hours. The player is not responsible for this change of plan: the reasons can be traced back to the classic inconvenience often encountered by those who have to travel with multiple flights. The first, from the Turkish Airlines company, had a delay and this prevented him from catching the connection to Italy which should have taken him to Capodichino at 8 this morning. However, the basic program remains unchanged. If no further unforeseen events arise, the Nigerian is expected during the day at Castel Volturno where he will undergo some checks by the medical staff who will evaluate his condition. It will therefore be clear whether he will be called up for the match against Genoa or whether it is better to wait directly for the Champions League match against Barcelona to see him back on the pitch, when he will almost certainly regain his starting place at the center of the attack. During his adventure in the Africa Cup of Nations, Osimhen suffered from gastroenteritis and suffered some ailments, despite being regularly used in the final lost against Ivory Coast. In any case, he did not show the best version of himself: in fact, in the ideal eleven of the competition, he was not selected, unlike his compatriot Lookman.
