Napoli manager, Luciano Spalletti, on Thursday, declared that Nigeria forward, Victor Osimhen, will be fit for the club’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg at home to AC Milan next week.
Osimhen missed Wednesday’s 0-1 loss in the first leg match.
Osimhen, Serie A’s top scorer with 21 goals, was sidelined for this month’s league games against AC Milan and Lecce due to a thigh strain.

“He was rested on Wednesday and will be rested for Saturday’s match also, to complete the work done by the doctors. Then, anything can happen,” Spalletti said.
Ismael Bennacer’s goal gave AC Milan a 1-0 win to take into the return leg on Tuesday.
