Osimhen is currently sidelined with a thigh injury and is not expected to return to action until next month.

Ahead of his side’s trip to the Diego Armando Maradona on Sunday at Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, Pioli said Napoli will still be a dangerous force despite the absence of their talismanic force.
“Garcia is an excellent coach and he’s on the right path. He will be without Victor Osimhen but it happened last season too and they still got great results,”
“They haven’t changed much defensively, they use a 4-4-2 formation. They still want to keep possession so it’s hard to see big differences. Perhaps Giacomo Raspadori can connect attack and midfield more than Giovanni Simeone who I know really well. He is a good striker who attacks the space well.”
Osimhen has scored six goals in eight appearances across all competitions for Napoli this season.
