According to reports out of Italy, Serie A club Napoli plan to stop their stars from being part of the forthcoming international window which would mean Victor Osimhen will again not be involved with the Super Eagles for AFCON qualifiers against Sierra Leone.
“Napoli’s legal team is working to avoid sending players out on international duty in November because of Covid-19,” reported @Everything Napoli while making reference to disclosures by top journalist Carlo Alvino.
The work of the Napoli lawyers is expected to be made a lot easier after FIFA said on health grounds clubs are not obliged to release players for international action for the remainder of 2020.
Osimhen has already missed out on October international duty for friendlies against Algeria and Tunisia after the entire Napoli squad were quarantined in a hotel.
He was subsequently replaced by Genk striker Paul Onuachu.
It is expected that the Super Eagles will be boxed into a very tight corner were the European clubs to stop Nigeria stars called up by Gernot Rohr for the forthcoming AFCON qualifiers against the Leone Stars in Benin City and Freetown.
