UCL Concern: Napoli Await Osimhen’s Fitness For Barcelona Showdown

Napoli, the reigning Serie A champions, are facing a nerve-wracking situation as they await updates on Victor Osimhen's fitness ahead of their pivotal UEFA Champions League encounter against Barcelona.

Sky Sport Italia reports indicate that the striker is still not in his peak physical condition following his recent stint at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

During the tournament held in Cote d’Ivoire, Osimhen reportedly shed between 3 and 4 kilograms, raising concerns about his readiness for the impending clash with Barcelona. Furthermore, the toll of participating in seven matches over a month in challenging weather conditions has left the 25-year-old Nigerian forward with lingering recovery needs.

With doubts surrounding Osimhen's availability, Napoli's manager, Luciano Spalletti, may find himself contemplating alternatives like Giovanni Simeone or Giacomo Raspadori to step up in his absence. The looming uncertainty adds a layer of complexity to Napoli's preparations as they gear up to welcome Barcelona to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday, February 21st.
