Victor Osimhen suffered a knock during the Super Eagles’ match against Saudi Arabia and will undergo an MRI today
Super Eagles and Napoli star Victor Osimhen is not too worried about the injury he sustained in the Super Eagles’ match against Saudi Arabia, Soccernet.ng reports.
According to TuttoNapoli, Osimhen was speaking with doctors in Naples in preparation for a scheduled MRI scan and appeared relatively unfazed by the blow he received during the match.
Osimhen was fouled by a Saudi player and was replaced in the 58th minute by OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi as a precaution.
Super Eagles coach Jose Peceiro has stressed the importance of respecting the players’ clubs who pay their salaries and not releasing players on international assignments to avoid unnecessary risks. We have decided.
Meanwhile, reports from Naples said that Osimhen spoke to Dr. Raffaele Canonico, who reassured him about the slight discomfort he felt from the knock.

In a phone call with Dr. Raffaele Canonico, he did not seem particularly worried. “Hoping that his feelings are correct, Napoli’s head of medical staff will today subject him to a series of tests to avoid complications.”
Osimhen has been in good form, scoring six goals in eight games in the domestic league, and has become a key player in coach Rudi Garcia’s team.

Osimhen’s absence could be a risk as Napoli look to close the gap on AC Milan and Real Madrid in Champions League Group C.
