Osimhen will start against Milan – Spalletti

Date:

Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that Victor Osimhen will start when Napoli play against Milan in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday.

Victor Osimhen had missed four games for Napoli before making his return from injury on Saturday in Napoli’s 0-0 draw against Verona.

The Nigerian striker missed out on four games due to injury but returned to action and played 25 minutes against Verona at the Maradona Stadium.

And his coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed that he will start on Tuesday.

“He’ll start, yes,” Spalletti told DAZN

“Osimhen has this physicality and speed, you can throw the ball up to him and he can protect it, use his head or use a change of pace, he has so many different alternatives. He is a hero of these fans now, so there is always a wave of enthusiasm around him.

“These are players made of different stuff, they have so many solutions. They fill the box of delights with all their various characteristics.”
