- Osimhen missed six Napoli matches
- The Super Eagle is fit again
- This season he has scored two goals for the club
WHAT HAPPENED: The Nigeria star has been out for a couple of weeks with a thigh injury sustained in the Champions League matchday oen clash against Liverpool at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
He has since missed six matches for his team, but Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti confirmed the 23-year-old will be back on Wednesday night.
WHAT WAS SAID: “Victor [Osimhen] is key to our team because he's a top player. He's training well and he's ready to play his part," Spalletti told the club's website.
"Osimhen has to be one of the leaders of this team. We're lucky to have three forwards with different skill sets that complement each other and give us a range of options in attack."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Prior to his injury, Osimhen had played five Serie A matches this season, scoring two goals and providing an assist. On that day against the Reds, he won two penalties.
However, the Naples side have not shown any signs of missing the striker and have scored 19 goals in their last six matches.
It will be interesting to see whether the Super Eagle will be in the starting team against the Dutch champions.
The Italian outfit can seal their place in the knockout phase with a victory, and they won the last meeting away 6-1.
