After Napoli’s Serie A clash against Cagliari, interim manager Francesco Calzona remains optimistic about Victor Osimhen’s swift return to peak performance, as per DAILY POST.
Having netted for the second consecutive game, Osimhen’s resilience shone through in Napoli’s 1-1 stalemate against Cagliari on Sunday night.
After a month-long international stint, the 25-year-old made a recent return to Napoli, marking his presence felt with a goal against Barcelona in Calzona’s inaugural match.
Responding to inquiries regarding Osimhen’s output, Calzona conveyed to DAZN via Football Italia that the Nigerian forward’s recent fatigue was a temporary setback.
Acknowledging Osimhen’s remarkable character, Calzona highlighted his two-goal contribution over the past two fixtures and expressed confidence in his gradual resurgence to top form.
Citing Osimhen’s participation in AFCON, Calzona empathized with the toll it takes on players upon their return, stressing the inevitability of fatigue, evident even in the Barcelona encounter.
Osimhen’s impact for Napoli this season stands at eight goals in 14 Serie A outings, coupled with one goal in five UEFA Champions League appearances.
