Barcelona traveling to Naples next week to pick it up Naples in their Champions League round of 16 encounter in the first leg, and they took care of a weak defense to do so. However, Napoli are also sweating on the fitness of star striker Victor Osimhen.
The Nigerian international made it all the way to the final with the Super Eagles, but they were beaten 1-0 by Cote d'Ivoire. However SkySport in Italy, as recorded by Sport, they say he's back fighting for fitness. There is no certainty of how next week will be.
Osimhen lost 3-4kgs in weight over the course of the tournament, and despite finishing second, Nigeria returned home to a government salute and a lot of activity. This came after a grueling tournament, and was followed by a 16-hour flight.
If Osimhen cannot go from the start, then it will probably be one of Giovanni Simeone or Giacomo Raspadori who comes into the side for him. Barcelona were fragile defensively in the end, and Osimhen's power and pace are a major threat to a disorganized side.
