The physical problems that kept him out in Milan will also keep him out with Nigeria. No national team for Victor Osimhen, it is now official: in these hours, the national team's statement confirming the exclusion of the blue striker.
After the Barcelona match in the Champions League, Osimhen had complained of some muscular issues to the medical staff of Napoli. The Nigerian trained little during the week and missed the Inter-Napoli game on Sunday, watching the entire match from the bench and not even managing to participate during the game.
During this international break, therefore, the Neapolitan striker will remain at Castel Volturno along with part of the blue staff since Francesco Calzona has already left for the retreat with Slovakia. The blues will still have 48 hours of rest before returning to training. Osimhen was supposed to face Ghana and Mali in friendly matches.
