Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has said he will start Victor Osimhen for tonight’s decisive UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg against fellow Serie A club AC Milan.
Milan edged the first leg 1-0 at the San Siro.
Osimhen, who has been nursing a muscle injury from last month, returned to action at the weekend as a late sub in a scoreless draw at home with struggling Verona.
“Osimhen will start because he has gained enough physical and physiological fitness to play this tough match against Milan,” Spalletti told tuttonapoli.net
“He will definitely start from the first minute considering the fact that every minute is very important in this encounter.”
Osimhen, 24, is the leading scorer for Napoli this season with 25 goals in all competitions.
Two weeks ago, Napoli without Osimhen fell 4-0 at the Diego Maradona Stadium in Naples to Milan in a Serie A fixture.
