Victor Osimhen has participated in today’s training session at Castel Volturno alongside his teammates, yet he will not commence the match against Genoa on Saturday.

Napoli is gearing up for a Serie A fixture at home against Genoa, but their key forward Osimhen will not be among the starters at the Stadio Maradona tomorrow.

Following his delayed return from AFCON international duties, Osimhen arrived in Italy on Thursday evening instead of the anticipated time.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the 24-year-old Nigerian joined the final training session at Castel Volturno on Friday afternoon, preceding the Serie A round scheduled for Saturday.

Coach Walter Mazzarri addressed the media before today’s training session, indicating that he will determine Osimhen’s availability for the bench.
