Napoli head coach Walter Mazzarri has expressed his delight following the return of Victor Osimhen to action for the Serie A champions.

Osimhen made his comeback after six weeks out with a thigh strain as Napoli beat Atalanta 2-1 on Saturday night.

He sustained the injury in last month’s international friendly match between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia in Portugal.

The Super Eagles striker marked his return with an assist for Napoli’s winner scored by Eljif Elmas.

Kvicha Kvaratskhelia broke the deadlock but saw his opener cancelled out by Ademola Lookman.

Speaking on Osimhen’s return Mazzarri told DAZN, via Football Italia, stated he looks forward to the striker getting back to form.

“I didn’t need to be the Napoli coach to know that Osimhen is an excellent striker, I had watched him play! Fortunately he is back, I hope he gets his form back as soon as possible.”
