Victor Osimhen suffers ankle injury at Napoli

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen was forced to withdraw from the session on Tuesday, the result of an unfortunate ankle injury. The shocking twist has left fans anxiously hoping for a swift recovery for the Nigerian international.

The Partenopei revealed that Osimhen’s training session was cut short due to a sprained right ankle. The official statement released on the club’s website confirmed the setback, shedding light on the unexpected turn of events.

“Osimhen left the training grounds prematurely today, his spirited presence marred by a sprain to his right ankle,” the club’s statement read, capturing the somber mood that had enveloped the team.

Reports emerging from the scene suggest that the 24-year-old striker suffered the injury during a practice match collision with the recently acquired talent, Nathan. The clash left Osimhen visibly pained, his discomfort evident as he limped off the field. Swift action followed, as he promptly applied an ice pack to his aching ankle in an attempt to mitigate the damage.

As the Napoli faithful collectively hold their breath, there is a silver lining to this dark cloud. Insiders indicate that the injury might not keep the striker out of action for an extended period. Optimism is high within the team that Osimhen’s determination and dedication will expedite his road to recovery.

With the 2023-24 Serie A season looming just around the corner, set to commence on August 19, Napoli’s preparations have been slightly shaken by this unexpected development. Their inaugural match against the newly promoted Frosinone carries a mix of anticipation and uncertainty, especially with Osimhen’s availability hanging in the balance.
