Victor Osimhen will not start tonight’s UEFA Europa League clash against Polish club Legia Warsaw.
Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti said he has enough quality in attack to drop red-hot Osimhen to the bench.
“He (Osimhen) won’t start because we have a lot of quality upfront,” Spalletti said ahead of the game.
“(Dries) Mertens return is important because it allows us to have more options.
“We need certainties and leaders to aim for big results. He is one of those, he likes to take his responsibilities.
“We have been waiting for him and we are happy to have him back.”
Napoli need to win tonight to get their Europa League going as they only have a point from two games.
