Victor Osimhen’s long-awaited comeback will have to wait for at least another two weeks after his club Napoli announced he has tested positive for Coronavirus.

Napoli said the test was conducted Thursday on his return from Belgium, he remains asymptomatic and did not meet up with the rest of the squad.
He has already been quarantined.
Osimhen was expected to return this month after he dislocated his shoulder on Super Eagles against Sierra League in November.
Officials were confident the striker will return to action this month, but a positive Covid-19 result will now delay this return.
