Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has recovered from injury and is ‘ready to take the field’ in tonight’s clash against Liverpool, according to reports in Italy.
The Reds are in Naples for their first Champions League group stage clash this evening and face a side second in Serie A and unbeaten in their opening five league games. Luciano Spalletti’s side have been firing on all fronts domestically and will hope to take advantage of Liverpool’s injury problems at this early point in the competition.
But the Azzurri were at risk of suffering a major fitness problem of their own, with star striker and last season’s top-scorer Osimhen complaining of a muscular problem in the weekend’s win at Lazio. Spalletti confirmed in his Tuesday press conference that the Nigerian international was still a doubt, but had showed positive signs in Monday’s training session.
