Victor Osimhen is expected to miss Napoli’s upcoming match against Genoa, slated for Saturday at 3pm.

Currently, Osimhen is in Nigeria, where he was honored by President Bola Tinubu for his outstanding performance in Cote d’Ivoire.

Following this recognition, the Super Eagles are set to return to Lagos, with a possible reception by the Lagos State government scheduled for Thursday.

Osimhen’s anticipated return to Italy is likely to be Friday or Saturday, ruling him out of the Genoa encounter.

However, there’s hope for Napoli fans as the Forward could potentially be back in action for the much-anticipated clash against Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday at the Maradona Stadium.
