Napoli star Victor Osimhen trained separately from the rest of the team this morning due to a muscle issue, so he is in doubt for Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Liverpool.
The Azzurri trained at Castel Volturno this morning following their 2-1 win over Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio on Saturday.
They are the Serie A table leaders along with Milan, but could see their star striker Osimhen miss the upcoming Champions League group stage opener against Liverpool.
“Osimhen trained separately from the team due to a muscle problem suffered in the final minutes of Lazio-Napoli,” the Partenopei said in an official statement.
Hirving Lozano also trained separately from the group after undergoing further examination that ruled out facial fractures for the Mexico international. Lozano had been stretched off during Saturday’s match at the Stadio Olimpico.
Diego Demme is not available and trained in the gym today, said Napoli.
Osimhen has scored two goals in the opening five Serie A games of the season.
Osimhen could be a big loss vs Liverpool.
They play a high defensive line, so a player with his pace could punish them
