Napoli manager Rudi Garcia claimed the Serie A champions have a big void to fill following the injury-induced absence of Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen returned from international duty with a groin injury and will be sidelined for a few weeks.
Garcia admitted that the Partenopei will miss the Nigeria international but must find a solution in his absence.
“We need all our players fit and ready to play and Osimhen out is a big loss for the team,” Garcia told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“He is an important player to the team and we must find a solution in his absence.” READ ALSO:
