Tonight, Napoli will square off against Braga at the Maradona stadium in a Champions League fixture, crucial for advancing to the round of 16. However, Napoli might have to make do without Victor Osimhen, the team’s key striker.
The Nigerian international had been in Morocco overnight to receive the African Golden Ball award and returned to Castelvolturno at a very late hour.
This information has been provided by Italian sports newspaper, Tuttosport, which also reports that Napoli coach, Walter Mazzarri, will be assessing the condition of the striker this morning following his journey. The main concern revolves around whether Osimhen will be able to recover and perform at his best post the travel exhaustion. The fixture is indeed of high importance and all eyes will be on the coach’s assessment.
