Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri is hopeful Victor Osimhen will be back to his best soon.
Osimhen has struggled in front of goal since making his return from a hamstring injury.
The Nigeria international extended his barren run to four games after failing to hit target in Napoli’s 1-0 defeat to Juventus on Friday night.
Mazzarri is however upbeat the 24-year-old will back to his best soon.
“Champions inspire the others, but they also need to find full fitness. You could tell he (Osimhen ) was being man-marked even when the ball was nowhere near him,” Mazzarri said after the game. READ ALSO:

“When he is in good shape, he will make the difference, but then we lose him with the Africa Cup of Nations and others have to fill in.”
Osimhen has netted six times in 11 league outings for Napoli this season.
