Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen started training with his Napoli colleagues on Friday after recovering from a muscular injury. The reigning Serie A champions practiced at the SSCN Konami Training Center in Naples, Italy, where Osimhen joined his Napoli teammates who missed the international break, including Matteo Politano, who is also recovering from an injury.
Osimhen was originally named to Finidi George’s 27-man squad for international friendlies against Ghana and Mali in preparation for Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifiers in June. However, owing to a muscular injury sustained during the Champions League round of 16 match against Barcelona, he had to withdraw from the squad.
