Despite plans to sue Napoli over a video on the club’s TikTok account where he was trolled, Victor Osimhen has been included in coach Rudi Garcia’s squad to face Udinese on Wednesday.
Ahead of today’s (Wednesday) home league game against Udinese, Napoli announced its 24-man squad on their X handle with Osimhen included.
On Tuesday, a video seemingly mocking Osimhen was posted on Napoli’s TikTok account.
In the now-deleted video, a speedup version of his penalty miss against Bologna was merged with high-pitch baby audio sound.
Also, there was another video that referenced Osimhen’s head as a “coconut”.

On Tuesday night, Osimhen’s agent Roberto Calenda took to his X handle to state that legal action could be taken against Napoli.
A few hours after Calenda’s comments, Osimhen deleted almost all Napoli-related photos from his Instagram, including last season’s Scudetto celebrations.
He also stopped following Napoli on Instagram before re-following them.
However, he has been included in the squad as Napoli look to end their three straight league games without a win.

For Osimhen and Naples,the thrill is gone, and the end is near! Napoli is not the only club in the world. Time to move on!
The grass is not always greener on the other side.
Victor Osimhen and his camp needs to calm down a little bit.
Sometimes, it is advisable to look deep before you leap.
Criticism is akways allowed in football, africa Players should stop crying over everything, marguire of Manchester suffered alot insults, up till ghanas parlament, defferent youtube abuses and mockery, he didnt take anybody to court, which reasonable human being go take his emloyer to court? Nor be juju be that, osihmen needs to be wise, and stop being emotionaly silly, you cant be recieving such high pay and dont expect banta from italians, its verry normal, they do it regularly to their own players. Black people should stop crying victims everytime, that same napoli released about ten defferent songs all tribute to osihmen when they won scudetto, this one joke shouldnt stand in your way forward.
God bless you collins, most people didn’t even watch the video but yet are screaming racism up and down. From what have heard it was just a joke which went too far. Does that warrant him disrespecting his colleagues? He needs to just pip down
