Victor Osimhen is anticipated to begin as a starter as Napoli, the reigning champions, welcome Inter Milan to the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona for Sunday night’s clash (today).
Osimhen, recuperating from a hamstring injury, has recently made appearances off the bench in Napoli’s last two matches. Despite this, the 24-year-old managed to contribute an assist during Napoli’s 2-1 triumph last weekend against Napoli. However, he faced a tougher challenge in Napoli’s 4-2 loss to Real Madrid at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in the midweek fixture.
Napoli currently holds the fourth spot on the table, trailing league leaders Juventus by nine points. Securing a victory in this game becomes crucial for their chances of sustaining their title defense.
Manager Walter Mazzarri pins his hopes on Osimhen’s potential to drive the team towards a victorious outcome in this matchup. The 24-year-old has already netted six goals in 10 appearances for Napoli this season.
