Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Serie A club, Napoli have confirmed that Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen has recovered from COVID-19 and would resume training this weekend.<\/p>\n

The club confirmed Osimhen\u2019s latest test result via their Twitter handle on Friday, as the striker returned a negative test.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old, who had been away from football since November last year due to a shoulder injury, first tested positive to the virus on New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

He returned a positive test again after self-isolating for 10 days in the city of Naples, and has missed several matches with the team.<\/p>\n

Osimhen will now return to training on his own before rejoining the rest of the team subsequently.<\/p>\n

The former Lille of France striker, who dislocated his shoulder last November, has scored twice in eight league appearances for the Gennaro Gattuso side since his arrival this season.<\/p>\n

Napoli lost 2-0 to Juventus earlier this week in the Italian Super Cup, and will face Verona in the league on Sunday.<\/p>\n
