No Victor Osimhen, no problem for Napoli? Well, I dont strongly don’t think so, as they were ruthlessly crushed by Serie A defending Champions during their league game on Sunday evening.
Osimhen’s injury during the international break and subsequent absence from the Milan game was a major setback for Napoli.
Osimhen picked up an injury while on international duty with the Super Eagles, and Napoli felt the impact of his absence as they soundly lost to AC Milan 4-0 at home.

After picking up an injury while playing for Nigeria in an international match against Guinea-Bissau, Osimhen was instructed to take a rest and watch the game on TV.
Osimhen’s absence gave AC Milan the opportunity to hammer Napoli, demonstrating the value of the Nigerian striker to the Serie A leaders.
Before now, Napoli has won every game they’ve played in all competitions this season without Victor Osimhen, including the rematch in Serie A against AC Milan on September 18, 2022.
But this time around, the striker’s absence from the Napoli team was felt keenly as his teammates suffered a night of grieving humiliation at the hands of a hungry Stefano Pioli’s team.
The Rossoneri won easily and earned all three points thanks to goals from Rafael Leao, Brahim Diaz, and Alexis Saelemaekers.
As a result, it is now quite clear that Napoli would be in serious trouble without Victor Osimhen. So, No Victor Osimhen, no problem for Napoli?
No Osimhen no problem?

Prior to Napoli’s Champions League match against AC Milan, the 24-year-old striker will certainly need to be available.
In order to guarantee a spot in the semifinals, the two Serie A heavyweights will face off twice over the course of the next 16 days.
