After the attacker’s breakaway, a solution is studied. On Friday, the doctors check, Nigeria is also waiting
The tension is there and it is felt even if not in all its roar. Because Victor Osimhen would like so much to be able to play with Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations. It has been called, tomorrow the meeting of the national team of coach Eguavoen in Abuja is set. The Napoli striker has been in Lagos since Christmas, to be with his family. In between, there is an appointment already fixed in Naples for Friday 31 December. A pit stop on the condition of the Nigerian who on 23 November was operated on at the Ruesch clinic for multiple fractures to his face in the away match against Inter following a game clash.
Situation
–
Not just security reasons towards the full recovery of the Nigerian attacker. But also in strict compliance with the FIFA protocol which requires an assessment visit also considering the delicacy of the intervention in question. Through the finding of a CT scan that will be evaluated together with the complexity of Osimhen’s conditions by the surgeon, Professor Giampaolo Tartaro, who on November 23 operated the blue bomber on his face for the multiple fractures reported in the away match against Inter Milan. Two days before. Friday will also be examined how the wound healing is progressing. After the surgery carried out in Naples, a prognosis of 90 days was indicated with the addition of a new review of the situation based on how the rehabilitation course will proceed.
Entourage

And what emerges from the Osimhen front? A week ago, the striker tweeted: “I will be available for the African Cup unless I am among those players chosen to represent Nigeria”. In the following hours the call-up arrived on time. Yesterday, Oma Akatugba, a member of Osimhen’s entourage, spoke to Radio Marte: “Victor is in Nigeria with his family, but I have not met him because I am in Germany. However Victor will return to Naples to make the last check planned for some time. If Osimhen will be there with Juventus? Beyond Victor and Napoli, clubs across Europe are asking to delay the arrival of players in Africa after early January. As for Osimhen, Victor would be very happy to play and win in Turin and then leave to represent Nigeria in the African Cup. He would have no problem if the club asked him, but what he would not like is if Napoli told him not to go to the Africa Cup … ”. However, there are above all the physical conditions to be evaluated. “Afraid of returning to the pitch? It is clear that in this first phase he will have to be very careful, he is a player who gives his all when he plays and also for this reason sometimes he gets hurt in this way. Surely it will take some time to find the best physical form, but above all psychological, but he can start playing naturally by being very careful “.
Developments
–
The Nigeria rally is scheduled for tomorrow. Osimhen could also respond only formally to the summons of the coach Eguavoen, but it would be a decidedly hasty step as well as in many ways inappropriate. By the way, Osimhen will turn 23 tomorrow. Friday is expected in Naples to have an answer on what are his conditions between the response of the surgeon who operated on him and the results of the related instrumental examinations. A point of the situation also towards the African Cup. Osimhen recharged himself after the comforting results of the resumption of training with a protective mask. The African Cup is an appointment that whets the ambitions in his professional growth. But a little more than a month after surgery it is difficult to imagine that Osimhen could be in the conditions to face a real match, and not a training one, with the risks that can arise above all in the face of a situation not yet completely normalized. From the visit by Professor Tartaro, Nigeria will also have additional elements to assess the player’s availability. And among the various hypotheses there is also that of waiting a few weeks before deciding to enter Osimhen in the African Cup of Nations. To use it from any semi-finals. But Napoli are also waiting to know when they can get Victor Osimhen back. At the right times without being too hasty.
