Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Napoli sporting director, Cristiano Guintoli has downplayed injury concerns surrounding Victor Osimhen ahead of the side\u2019s UEFA Champions League clash against Liverpool.<\/p>\n

There were fears Osimhen could miss out on the game after the Naples club issued a statement on their website on Monday that the Nigeria international picked up a minor injury in last Saturday\u2019s away win at Lazio.<\/p>\n

Osimhen, according to the statement, trained separately from his teammates.<\/p>\n

But Guintoli has stated that the striker is expected to be fit for the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Osimhen) has a little discomfort in the adductor, there is no injury, it is a fatigue that he must manage together with the doctor and decide a few hours of the game with Liverpool if it is appropriate to risk or not,\u201d Guintoli told Kiss Kiss Napoli via Tutto Napoli.<\/p>\n

Osimhen has scored two goals in five league appearances for the Partenopei this season.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool encounter will hold at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
