Victor Osimhen is expected to be out of football action for about three weeks to a month following his thigh injury in the first stanza of Wednesday’s 4-1 pounding of Liverpool in Naples.
The Nigeria international aggravated the muscle problem he suffered in Napoli’s 1-0 away win against Lazio in the team’s last Serie A match before the clash with Liverpool.
The Napoli forward hurt his right thigh’s femoral bicep in the first half of the game with Liverpool at the Stadio Maradona, Naples.
He was substituted four minutes to the half-time break by new signing Giovanni Simeone in the Champions League win.
Osimhen missed Napoli’s home game against Spezia on Saturday, and will not be at least, until after this month’s international break.
He will also miss next week’s Champions League visit to Scottish side Rangers and Napoli’s Serie A game against arch-title contender AC Milan next week Sunday.
