The Serie A, governing body of Italy’s top football league, marked Victor Osimhen’s comeback from injury with enthusiasm.

Osimhen made a remarkable return during Napoli’s victorious 2-1 away match against Atalanta in the weekend’s league fixture.

The Super Eagles’ forward had been sidelined for six weeks due to a thigh strain, an injury incurred during a recent friendly between Nigeria and Saudi Arabia in Portugal.

This setback caused him to miss the consecutive games against Lesotho and Zimbabwe in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Upon his second-half entry into the game, he notably assisted Eljif Elmas in securing Napoli’s winning goal.

As Osimhen was poised to join the match, Serie A shared their excitement with a message on their social media handle: “OSIMHEN’S BACK.”

Osimhen’s return comes as encouraging news for the Eagles’ coaching staff, directing attention towards the upcoming AFCON in Côte d’Ivoire next year.
