According to recent reports, Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo believes that his team can manage without their top scorer Victor Osimhen in their upcoming match against AC Milan. The teams will face off in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash on Wednesday at the San Siro.
Osimhen has been sidelined with a muscle injury that he picked up while playing for the Nigerian national team last month. Napoli suffered a 4-0 defeat against AC Milan in a league match last month when Osimhen was absent, leading to concerns that they may face a similar result this time.
However, Di Lorenzo has dismissed these concerns, stating that the team has confidence in its available players and does not depend solely on Osimhen. In a recent statement to Tutto Napoli, he said, “We know that Osimhen is a great player and he is very important for us, but we don’t depend only on one player. We have full confidence in the available players, so we are calm from this point of view.”
Di Lorenzo emphasized that while Osimhen’s absence is notable, Napoli is prepared to face AC Milan with the players they have. Osimhen has been an essential player for Napoli, scoring four goals in five appearances for the team in the Champions League this season.
In conclusion, Napoli will be playing without their leading scorer Victor Osimhen in their upcoming match against AC Milan. Despite this, Napoli’s captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo has expressed confidence in the team’s ability to cope with his absence and secure a positive result against their rivals.
