Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti claimed Osimhen injury concern is nothing serious after the player was seen looking a little concerned when he was brought off in the final stages of the match of the game against Sassuolo on Friday. Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The Super Eagles striker on the night netted his 18th league goal of the season after he scored the second goal of Napoli’s 2-0 over their host.
Worries over his fitness come the midweek for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie against Eintracht Frankfurt shrugged off following Spalletti’s comment.
“For what was assessed there straight away, it doesn’t look like anything special, just a bit of tiredness because he can’t spare himself.” Spalletti said.
“When he has this urge to push, he stretches and does these runs where you don’t know where he;ll end up.
“He says he can hardly do it anymore and will go two metres, then those two metres become two hundred because he goes after everyone.”
