The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF officials are waiting for the final report from Napoli doctors on whether injured forward, Victor Osimhen, will be fit 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.
La Gazzetta, said the Nigerian 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.
It was gathered that 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. However report in the Italian medium 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.
Also in the case of Osimhen, reports in the media indicate that since he resumed with light training nine days ago, the Nigerian is determined to get into full scale fitness and play in subsequent matches.
