Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, on Tuesday picked up an ankle injury during training with the club.
The Serie A champions confirmed this on their official website.
“Osimhen left training prematurely due to a sprain to his right ankle,” reads the statement on the club’s official website.
Italian reporter, Gianluca Di Marzio further revealed that Osimhen left Napoli’s training session during their practice match after suffering a tough blow to his right ankle, colliding with new signing Natan.
He was visibly pained as he limped off the pitch and instantly applied an ice pack to his ankle. Initial tests suggest that he’s suffered an ankle sprain, something that shouldn’t keep him out of action for too long.
The 2023/24 Serie A season is expected to kick-off on August 19.
The Partenopei will face newly promoted side, Frosinone in their opening fixture.
