A Napoli fan who reportedly spoke with Victor Osimhen after a training session on Friday claims the Nigeria international reassured him about his injury: Don’t worry it’s just a small thing.’

The Partenopei centre-forward, Serie A’s leading scorer this season, will miss Sunday’s match against Milan due to a muscle injury sustained during the international break.

Reports in Italy claim the 24-year-old remains in doubt for both Champions League fixtures against the Rossoneri on April 12 and 18.

Osimhen reportedly spoke to a Napoli fan, David Ruggiero, after a training session at Castel Volturno on Friday.

The Nigeria international reportedly told the fan: ‘Don’t worry it’s just a small thing’ when asked about how long he’d remain out of action.

Ruggiero sent a picture alongside the Nigerian striker to the Facebook page ‘Il Napulegno’ which reported the story.

Osimhen has scored 25 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season and Napoli won all seven games played without their star striker in 2023-24, including the reverse fixture against Milan at San Siro in September.
