Napoli striker Victor Osimhen could be set for a spell on the sidelines after sustaining an ankle injury in training on Tuesday.
Napoli announced that the 24-year-old left training early after picking up the injury.
“Osimhen left training prematurely due to a sprain to his right ankle,” reads a statement on the club’s official website.
The Nigeria reportedly copped the injury after colliding with new signing, Nathan in a practice match.
