Serie A: Napoli missing extraordinary striker Osimhen – Maldonado

Former Napoli defender, Ruben Maldonado believes the Partenopei have missed Victor Osimhen in their last two games.

Osimhen has been absent from Napoli’s last two Serie A fixtures against AC Milan and Leece due to muscle injury.

The forward sustained the injury while on international duty with Nigeria.

Napoli were battered 4-0 by AC Milan and laboured to a 2-1 win against Leece.

“Osimhen is an extraordinary and fundamental striker, one of a kind,” Maldonado told Napoli Magazine.

“His presence, or absence as we have seen recently, can make itself felt, but I have faith in the group that coaches the coach.”

The Serie A leaders will hope Osimhen will be fit for their UEFA Champions League clash against AC Milan.
