Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen was absent from Napoli’s first pre-season game on Tuesday due to fitness concerns, as reported by Soccernet.
Napoli faced local Italian side Anaune Val Di Non, marking Antonio Conte’s debut as coach. Initially listed on the bench, Victor Osimhen was ultimately seen in the stands instead of participating.
In recent days, the Nigerian has been undergoing separate training sessions from the main squad, focusing on his fitness. He had previously left training early with an ankle injury, using an ice pack for recovery.
Despite Osimhen’s absence, Conte’s team secured a convincing 4-0 victory, with goals from Leonardo Spinazzola, Walid Cheddira, Gianluca Gaetano, and Cyril Ngonge.
