Nigerian Victor Osimhen, the Italian Napoli striker, is undergoing an MRI, in order to determine the severity of the injury he suffered during his country’s 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia, according to what the Nigerian Federation said.
Osimhen, 24, left the match in the 55th minute at Portimao Stadium in Portugal, after suffering what appeared to be a muscle injury.
The Portuguese Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, said that Osimhen will undergo a CT scan, and will likely miss Monday’s friendly match against Mozambique, also in Portugal.
“We will not include him regardless of the result of the picture,” Peseiro said in an interview published by the Nigerian national team on its page.
Osimhen scored six goals this season in the league in which Napoli holds the title, in a wonderful season during which the Nigerian won the title of top scorer in Serie A.
