Osimhen Overcomes Injury Scare, Confirmed for Serie A Showdown

Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen has been cleared to play in Napoli’s crucial Serie A clash against Champions League contenders Bologna this Sunday, as reported by Sportblog247.com.

Osimhen’s availability comes as a relief for Napoli after concerns arose when he sustained a knock during their recent match against Udinese. Despite scoring Napoli’s lone goal in the game, Osimhen was substituted in the 88th minute due to the injury scare, sparking worries about his participation in the upcoming fixture against Bologna.

The potential absence of Osimhen would have been a significant blow to Napoli, given his recent contributions and impressive record against Bologna, having netted three goals in their last five encounters.

Fortunately for Napoli, reports from Napoli Magazine confirm Osimhen’s recovery, ensuring his inclusion in the squad for the match at the Diego Maradona Stadium.

The stakes are high for both teams, with Bologna aiming to secure their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League with a victory. Conversely, a win for Napoli would boost their chances of qualifying for the Europa League, as they trail Lazio by five points in the race for the final spot.
