With 21 goals in Serie A, the 24-year-old Nigerian international has driven Napoli to the brink of their first Serie A championship since the late Diego Maradona led them to the 1990 Scudetto. After returning from international duty, he will have to miss tomorrow's match, the club announced, citing the fact that "he complained of groyne pain and medical examinations showed the ailment."
The club noted that his condition will be evaluated the following week. With 11 games left, Napoli has a 19-point advantage over Lazio, which is their closest pursuer. Milan's championship defence has been lacklustre, as they now sit in fourth place, 23 points behind Napoli. The biggest city in Southern Italy, Naples, is waiting down the minutes till Napoli can declare themselves winners for the first time since 1990. Osimhen, a striker from Nigeria, has become a local hero in Naples thanks to his 25 goals in Serie A and the Champions League.
