Nigerian international and SC Napoli forward Victor Osimhen will be available to face Barcelona today at the Camp Nou for the Europa round of 32.
Osimhen, who has a minor issue with his right knee, missed the last session of Napoli’s training ahead of the Thursday clash with the Spanish side.
According to SC Napoli, the Nigerian Super Eagle did not take part in the last training session before embarking on the trip to Barcelona due to a knock he had on his knee.
However, Osimhen who recently returned to action after two months of recovering from a fatal aerial clash with Inter Milan Milan Skriniar that damaged his cheekbone in November last year missed the 2021 Total Energies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.
