Former Juventus boss Fabio Capello believes the possible absence of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen could reduces their chances of winning in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg tie against AC Milan on Wednesday night, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Osimhen has been out of action for two weeks now following a tear in his adductor muscle while on international duty with the Super Eagles last month.
During this time Osimhen couldn’t play for Napoli in the last two league matches against AC Milan and Lecce, working on a quick return.
Osimhen yesterday was reported to had trained alone rather than training with the rest the team.
"Napoli has strengths and weaknesses. One? Di Lorenzo’s one-on-one with Leao is hard. Milan will think about this, then it will depend on Osimhen,” Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“If he doesn’t play, it’s 50-50. If he plays, he moves 5% by himself.
“Pioli these days will have to understand how not to let him get the ball while Spalletti will work on his head: he must convince Napoli that they are fine, even if in Lecce.”
