Osimhen trains solo ahead of Napoli UCL trip to Milan

Victor Osimhen did not train with the rest of his Napoli teammates ahead of their UEFA Champions League first-leg clash with Milan this Wednesday.

Fresh from their hard-fought 2-1 win at Lecce, Napoli players trained as they continue the preparation for the game against their Italian Serie A rivals.

While all the first members reportedly participated in the training, Victor Osimhen who had missed Napoli’s last two games due to injury didn’t train with the team.

Instead, Victor Osimhen did his solo training. He did individual work on the pitch and in the gym as he continues his race to be fit for the Milan game.

Without him, Napoli has not have been the same, something manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed himself after their narrow win against Lecce.

“It’s difficult without him, because he has this way of running into space, this physicality, he can draw everyone to him and create the space for his teammates,” Spalletti said.

Without him, Napoli suffered an embarrassing 4-0 defeat against Milan in a Serie A game a few days, Spalletti will be counting on Osimhen in the champions league games.

The first leg will be played at San Siro on April 12 and the decider on April 18 at Maradona stadium.
