Victor Osimhen will start from the bench in tonight’s UEFA Champions League group tie at Real Madrid.
Napoli coach Walter Mazzarri has picked Giovanni Simeone, the son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, to lead the attack, according to Sky Sport Italia.
Osimhen only returned to action at the weekend in Napoli 2-1 win at Atalanta.
He came off the bench to provide an assist for the winning goal.
The striker has been sidelined by a hamstring injury he suffered on international duty with the Super Eagles in October.
