Football fans in Napoli are celebrating the return of their recuperating striker, Victor Osimhen from Belgium.
The Nigerian player has reportedly recovered from the shoulder injury and returned from Belgium for Christmas.

He has since missed six Serie A games and four Europa League matches, but according to La Repubblica, he will be fully back when football resumes in January.
The newspaper claimed he has recovered from his shoulder injury and will return from Belgium, where he travelled to receive therapy from a specialist.
He’s not expected to be ready for Napoli-Torino tomorrow, where coach Gennaro Gattuso must cope without Dries Mertens too.
The Belgian forward is expected to be out for another couple of weeks and might be back in the middle of January.
