Napoli was without Victor Osimhen in yesterday’s pre-season game against Girona due to fatigue, reports owngoalnigeria.com.
According to Napoli, Osimhen missed the match due to an adductor muscle tissue issue that was triggered by fatigue and was asked to take some rest.
However, Napoli still lined up two Nigerians in the starting line up in the duo of Michael Folorunsho and Edward Obarentin. Both players haven’t played for Italy at any level, making them eligible to play for Nigeria.
Obarentin is a 20-year-old centre back who is also comfortable as a left back. He joined the team last year from AC Milan and made his way from the U-19 to the first team in the pre-season.
Folorunsho is a central midfielder who has been on the team’s books for three years since his move from Lazio.
