UCL: Osimhen Can’t Play 90 Minutes Yet — Mazzarri

Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri claimed Victor Osimhen is not fit enough to play 90 minutes football at the moment.

Osimhen sustained a hamstring injury on international duty last month and only returned to action last weekend after missing six games for the Serie A champions.

The Partenopei will face Real Madrid in a UEFA Champions League clash at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday (today) with Mazzarri’s side needing a win to confirm their place in the Round of 16.

Having the Nigeria international available is a big boost for Napoli especially with his impact in Saturday’s 2-1 victory at Atalanta, where he grabbed an assist.

Mazzarri however stated he will make a decision on whether to start the 24-year-old on the eve of the game.
