Napoli striker Osimhen misses out with thigh injury

In a statement, Napoli said that Nigeria forward had hurt the femoral bicep in his right thigh, an injury suffered in the first half of Wednesdayโ€™s 4-1 hammering of Liverpool in Naples.

The 23-year-old was substituted four minutes before half-time in the Champions League win at the Stadio Maradona and replaced by recent signing Giovanni Simeone.

Osimhen is expected to be out until at least after this monthโ€™s international break.

He will almost certainly also miss next weekโ€™s Champions League trip to Scottish club Rangers and their clash with title rivals AC Milan the following Sunday.
