Victor Osimhen remains doubtful for Napoli’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg clash against AC Milan on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old suffered a tear in his adductor muscle whilst on international duty with Nigeria at the end of last month.
Osimhen has missed Napoli’s last two Serie A games against AC Milan and Leece as a result of the setback.

Napoli had hoped to recover him for the first leg tie with Milan but did not see the results they were hoping for in training today.
According to popular Italian journalist, Gianluca Di Marzio, Osimhen did not take part in squad training , instead he worked individually on the pitch before heading into the gym.
Napoli will not want to risk the forward if he is not fit enough to take part in the game.
Osimhen will undergo a round of medical tests tomorrow to determine his availability.

Chai, see wetin Guinea-Bissau cause !!!!
Bad pitch all the way. This is one of the reason the European clubs seldomly released African players for national assignments.
How I wish Africa is patriotic enough to do the needful to putting pitch to standard. Napoli sorry o
@Afuye Exactly my borther the Pitches Bissau and most importantly Abuja caused this injuries to Osimhen, Sanusi and Onyeka.
NFF must be serious to renovate stadium’s pitches so that Nigerian players can perform so excellently on matches of Super Eagles as Iwobi said( if our pitches are excellent any team can not beat us), I think it’s time for NFF to do their best to renovate Mashood Abiola stadium in Abuja, ans other big stadium in the country.
