With barely 24 days to the start of the 33rd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) officials are fervently waiting for the final word from Napoli doctors on whether injured forward, Victor Osimhen, will be fit enough to join the Super Eagles.
The Super Eagles forward injured his cheekbone and eye socket during a Sunday Italian topflight fixture with AC Milan and was promptly operated 24 hours later.
Yesterday, Tutto Napoli.netquoting Italian tabloid, La Gazzetta, said that theNigerian forward has resumed training alongside Senegalese International, Kalidou Koulibaly thus raising the hope of their availability in this Sunday’s Serie A match against leaders’ AC Milan at the San Siro stadium.
Fans are eager for the return of the injured duo to turn the fortune of the Naples side around since they surrendered the leadership last month but the report in the Italian medium however indicated that the Senegalese who is closer to fitness may start from the bench this Sunday if the club doctors deem him match fit and can go all out.
