Runaway Serie A leaders Napoli will be without star striker Victor Osimhen due to a groin injury when they host last season’s champions AC Milan on Sunday, his club said Friday.
The 24-year-old Nigerian international’s 21 goals in Serie A have propelled Napoli to the verge of their third Serie A title but first since the late Diego Maradona inspired them to the 1990 Scudetto.
However, he will have to sit out Sunday’s game after returning from international duty with the club saying: “He complained of a pain in his groin and medical tests revealed the injury.”
