Napoli’s Osimhen left out of squad for AC Milan clash

Napoli forward Victor Osimhen will miss his side’s Champions League quarterfinal first leg at AC Milan on Wednesday after being left out of manager Luciano Spalletti’s matchday squad due to injury.

Nigeria’s Osimhen, who is Serie A’s top scorer this season with 21 goals, has missed this month’s league games against Milan and Lecce due to a thigh strain.

In a post on their website, Napoli said Osimhen “worked separately” from the team during Tuesday’s training session.
