Osimhen continues recovery at Napoli ahead Atalanta clash

Victor Osimhen is expected to take the next step in his recovery programme today as he works to be fit for Napoli’s coming game with Atalanta.

The 24-year-old Nigerian star has not featured for the Partenopei since their 3-1 loss to Fiorentina on October 8. Whilst on international duty last month, he suffered a hamstring injury that’s kept him sidelined for the last six consecutive games.

Osimhen was not present at the Castel Volturno training ground yesterday for Walter Mazzarri’s first session in charge of Napoli, suffering from flu symptoms, but now he’s ready to get back to action.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport via TMW, Osimhen is ready to start the next stage of his recovery plan, pushing to build his fitness ahead of Napoli’s clash with Atalanta on November 25.

Mazzarri is keen to start working with the Nigerian striker as soon as possible, aware that he’ll play a key role in the team’s successes.
