Victor Osimhen hobbled off hurt during Nigeria’s friendly match against Saudi Arabia, which worries Napoli.
The game this evening resulted in a 2-2 draw, and the center-forward was in the starting lineup.
After Saudi Arabia had taken the lead, Nigeria recovered, only to have a deflected effort hold them back.
At the 55th minute, Osimhen gave a startling knock, crumpling to the ground and gesturing to the bench to be replaced.
Although the nature of his injury is yet unknown, Napoli will surely be concerned going into pivotal Champions League matches against Union Berlin, Verona, and Milan.
Osimhen has a regrettable history of getting hurt when representing Nigeria. In November 2020, he had a dislocated shoulder that required two months of recovery.
Additionally, he caught COVID during two separate trips home for Christmas.
